The ruling on a woman who entered the state of ihram for Hajj and was informed of her husband's death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman came from her country intending to perform Hajj, and she stayed in her son's house in Riyadh. Then she was informed of her husband's death, and the Hajj would be before the completion of the waiting period for widowhood. Is it permissible for her to go out for Hajj this year?
Answer:
Yes, she is not in her husband's house; she came as a traveler. She is in Riyadh as a traveler intending to perform Hajj. So if a woman goes out for a need and reaches the distance for shortening the prayer, and then her husband dies, she does not return. She completes her journey and performs Hajj, so there is no blame on her, if Allah wills.
