Default Hajj and Riba - 03-10-2005


I am aware that Hajj is fardh on a person who can afford it. I am also aware that Riba is Haraam in Islam.
Now imagine a scenario where a person is in debt (On riba off course) for a lawful purpose say house purchase and is paying the monthly loan repayments of hefty amounts. Such a person if plans to perform hajj (and can afford it too despite the loan repayments), what do you think is obligatory on him? To repay the loan first and then offer hajj? Or to go on with the loan, gradually repaying it over the years and perform hajj in the meantime.
I am really confused on this one.
Any comments????
