Default Clutch is slipping. Is it ok to drive it?

The clutch is slipping if I try to accelerate hard like on a hill but if I accelerate slowly it makes it up no problem. Is it ok to drive it while the clutch is slipping cause I dont know when we can get it fixed.

Yes, it will get worse over time but you can drive for a while if you are careful not to slip it any more. Slipping will rapidly finish it and the car won't go at all. Be very light on the gas pedal and climb hills in lower gear than you usually would.
