Does the obligation of Hajj fall off a woman if her husband does not take her to perform it?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: My sister got married when she was forty and has not performed Hajj. Her husband has not taken her to perform it; he keeps delaying and stalling with her. Does the obligation fall off her?

Answer:
No, as long as she has a mahram (a relative one may not marry) among her mahram, the obligation does not fall off her. It is not permissible for her husband to prevent her from performing the obligatory Hajj, just as he does not prevent her from the obligatory prayer or the obligatory fast. He does not prevent her from the obligatory Hajj. Rather, he must allow her to go and help her if she needs assistance and cooperation in righteousness and piety. This is part of being kind to her and helping in righteousness and piety. Yes.
