Using credt cards in a way that generate interest is forbidden : going to Hajj while under credit cards debts

Fatawa Question

As-Salamu Alaykum, dear scholars, I read your reply to a question by a father who enquired whether he should perform Hajj or help his son to get married. With me , I am disturbed by the fact that I have a lot of debts to settle i.e., from credit cards to housing loan and others but at the same time wanting to perform the Hajj come the next season. I am in dilemma between settling debts and performing Hajj (as I longed to do this after my Umrah experience). I read that if one dies and there are unsettled debts, the soul will linger and not go up to heavens. Please help to give some advice. Note : please also provide help on how to curb spending desires-any Quranic recitations which may help is greatly appreciated.
