Who is responsible for a woman's Hajj: her father or her husband?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, my brother Abu Muhammad says: My father's daughter's husband is a young man, and she did not perform Hajj with us. I asked my father, and he said that her husband is now the one responsible for her performing Hajj, as long as she is married.

Answer:
No, the husband is not obligated to perform Hajj for her, nor is anyone else. She is only obligated to perform it if she is able. If she is able physically and financially, it is obligatory for her to perform Hajj with a mahram. Yes.
