Revolving Debt and Hajj?
If a person is paying his debt on a monthly basis. Is he allowed to perform Hajj.
Haj Pilgrimage is a duty men owe to Allah, provided they can afford the journey. If there are adequate arrangements of repayment of debts in the agreed installments and sufficient funds have set aside for the Haj, one can perform Haj.

Of course he is, why shouldn’t he be?
Debt does not have anything to do with Hajj. If a person have enough finance then it is compulsory on them to perform Hajj.

If you pay your debt for the month and have money for your pilgrimage, take the pilgrimage. If not, you don’t have to yet.
1. Hajj is not obligatory (Fard) on a person who is in debt. However, if a person has a long-term loan and he/she is required to pay only a certain amount every month, then his/her debt is only that which is due every month. If he/she pays off all the debt and then nothing is left with him/her to make Hajj, then Hajj is not obligatory on him/her. But if he/she only pays his/her monthly dues and then has enough money to make Hajj, then he/she should make Hajj because it obligatory on him/her.
2. If someone is in debt and his/her creditor allows him/her to go for Hajj, then he/she can perform Hajj. If a person takes loan (of course without interest) to perform Hajj and he makes Hajj, his/her Hajj is valid, although he/she was not required to do so and Hajj was not obligatory on him/her.
