Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on preventing a wife from performing Hajj for the sake of the children, knowing that a mahram (relative one may not marry) is present and the children go to their maternal uncles, but the husband fears that they may be neglected?

Answer:
Unless they have maternal uncles who are trustworthy, in which case it is not permissible for him to prevent her. As for if the maternal uncles are not trustworthy and he fears for his children, this is an excuse to delay the Hajj. Yes.
