I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who performs Hajj with borrowed money and has already performed the Hajj of Islam. Imam (as) said: "Yes, and Allah (swt), the Exalted, will settle his debt, God willing."
أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ يَسْتَقْرِضُ وَ يَحُجُّ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَجْهٌ فِي مَالٍ فَلَا بَأْسَ[4].
I asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man who has debt but borrows money to perform Hajj. Imam (as) said: "If he has a means to repay the debt, there is no harm in it."
لَهُ هَلْ يَسْتَقْرِضُ الرَّجُلُ وَ يَحُجُّ إِذَا كَانَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ مَا يُؤَدَّى بِهِ عَنْهُ إِذَا حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
I asked him: "Can a man borrow money to perform Hajj if he has resources left behind to settle the debt in case something happens to him?" Imam (as) said: "Yes."

Hadith.2905 - A man asked Abu Abdullah (as): "I am a man in debt. Should I borrow money and perform Hajj?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, it is more effective in settling the debt."
