A woman has a small child, and she wants to perform Hajj, but it is difficult for her to carry this child during Hajj, and she does not know anyone to leave the child with. Is she excused from performing Hajj?

Yes, she stays with her child until he grows up and no longer needs her, then she performs Hajj. Praise be to Allah, Allah has made things easy for His servants

[Ali 'Imran 3:97]
