    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 482/482/M=1432) It is not right to take interest-based loan from the bank without exigent need. If you have taken loan unknowingly, it is better to pay the debt before going to hajj. If it is not demanded urgently and you left for hajj being sure that you would pay it after returning from hajj, then your hajj will definitely be valid.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
