Answer

It is Fard upon a person to pay off his debts, while Haj is only Fard if he has the financial ability. Thus it would be better for you to help him pay off his debts, as he would be answerable for them. Inshallah He will take him for haj later on.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
