Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Since you only possess 60% of the money needed, hajj is not obligatory on you, even if your father is willing to provide the other 40%.

If you go to hajj after accepting your father’s money as either a gift or a loan, your hajj will still be valid.  However, you should first clarify with your father if he is giving the money as a gift or as a loan.

ثم المراد من الاستطاعة بملك الزاد والراحلة أن يكون عنده مال فاضل عن حوائجه الأصلية قدر ما يشتري أو يكتري به شق محمل أو زاملة وقدر نفقته ونفقة عياله مدة ذهابه ومجيئه من غير سرف ولا تقتير
(المحيط البرهاني، كتاب المناسك، الفصل الأول: 3/392؛ إدارة)

في تفسير الزاد والراحلة...فقد قال عامة العلماء أنه شرط فلا يجب الحج بإباحة الزاد والراحلة سواء كانت الإباحة من له منة على المباح له أو كانت ممن لا منة له عليه كالأب
(بدائع الصنائع، كتاب الحج، شرائط فرضيته: 1/287؛ ديوبند)

قوله (ذي زاد وراحلة) أفاد أنه لا يجب إلا بملك الزاد وملك أجرة الراحلة فلا يجب بالإباحة أو العارية كما في البحر
(رد المحتار، كتاب الحج: 2/459؛ سعيد)

And Allah knows best

Wassalaamu `alaykum
