The difference between a wife whose husband has not given her permission to perform Hajj and an employee who has not been given permission?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And the wife says her husband prevented her from performing Hajj, so she goes to him in this world, and how does the Shaykh say to the employee that it is not sufficient?
Answer : Yes, the difference between them is that the husband does not enjoy the benefits of his wife in the case of obligatory acts. Therefore, if she fasts, he does not enjoy her if she fasts an obligatory fast. So the obligation of Allah upon them is an exception. As for the employee, by virtue of the contract, he is required to fulfill it, and it is a new obligation that he must fulfill. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to neglect this. And he is able to make an exception, saying for example to his landlord: I am making an exception for the duration of Hajj.
