Going for Hajj while under interest laons : going for Hajj while under interest-based student loan : [2]

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum ba3da salaam I would like to thank u for a great work you guys have been doing.. I am proud to say that Islam online is one of the best Islam websites on the net.. I would like to ask a question regarding Hajj, as far as I know I might not be right that, I cannot perform Hajj if I am in any kind of debts.. I am a student who goes to university in UK and I take the university loan which is approximately about £ 5000, per year. this is to help me get through my study and help me with the daily help and life, there is interest in this while taking this loan, now it has been my dreams to do Hajj in my life before I die, and as we all know that performing Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam to those who are able to. my question is would I be able to use the money I get from the university / government loan to perform hajj and at the same time I am in debt which I do no have to pay now only when I finish university and also when I start a job which I will be earning over £ 10,000 per year.. Also to remind u that there is interest on this loan as well please let me know as soon as you can .Shukran Wajazakumullahu khairal jazaa.
