A mother taking from her orphan son's salary for Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. A mother has a small son, and she has a sum of money from her deceased father's salary. She and her family spend on him, so they do not take from the salary. She wants to take some of it and wants to perform Hajj with it. Is it permissible for her to do so?

Answer:
She takes it, and there is no blame on him, as the judge spends from his money on him. As for her taking from his money and performing Hajj with it, there is no obligation of Hajj on her if she is able, for Hajj is only upon the one who is able. Able by his money, by his money. If she is able to perform Hajj from her own money, she performs it. As for her taking from the money of another, no, that is not permissible.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
