Hajj, Umrah, Ibadah, fasting, kindness to parents : Hajj with borrowed money and going for Hajj while under debt

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum and hoping that my mail reaches you in the best of Iman. I pray also Allah SWT gives you the patience to bear with my stress. My inquiries goes this way : 1. Please what is the position of the Hajj of the person who borrow money to pay the fares of the pilgrimage ? 2. Is it true that once one owes a debt, he cannot go to Hajj until he pays down even if that debt has no linkage with his Hajj meaning he did not use the debt or part of it in anything that has to do with the hajj ? 3. Sir, please what is Islamic ruling on hire purchase ? I mean hire purchase as is been done in Nigeria where one party buys a car or an item and gives to a driver with a fixed agreement that the driver will pay double the amount of the Car or more and thereafter owns the car. If for any reason the driver could not meet up even if he has almost paid as agreed, the owner can then retrieve his item. I will be grateful if you will help me with explanations on the above. Wassalam !
