Is it obligatory for a son to take his mother on the voluntary Hajj if she asks him to, when he does not have the money?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man’s mother asked him to take her on Hajj, knowing that the mother has already performed the obligatory Hajj, and he does not have sufficient money to take her. So, is he sinful if he does not fulfill his mother’s wish? And is it obligatory for him to go into debt to take her on Hajj?
Answer:
He should try to please his mother and convince her. I do not think she will object if he convinces her that he does not have enough to cover her expenses, or if he promises her in the future. He should soothe her feelings and communicate with her in the best way.
