The husband preventing his wife from performing the obligatory Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a husband to prevent his wife from performing the obligatory Hajj?

Answer:
No. If she has a mahram (a relative one may not marry) and she has not yet performed the obligatory Hajj, it is not permissible for him to prevent her, just as it is not permissible for him to prevent her from prayer or fasting. This is a pillar of Islam. Yes.
