Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner, who used the letter "Alif" as a code for her name, says: Shaykh, I intend to perform the obligatory Hajj, if Allah wills, but there is no one for me to go with, as my children are young, and my husband has been ill for years with diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems, and he is unable to take me for this obligation. Is it waived for me, even though I have money, praise be to Allah?
Answer:
The Hajj of Islam is not waived for you; rather, it remains a debt upon you. So if a mahram becomes available later, you perform Hajj with him. Yes.
