The ruling on a husband traveling with his wife so that she may perform the obligatory Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it obligatory for the husband to travel with his wife so that she can perform the obligatory Hajj?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for him to do so, and it is not her right to demand it of him. If she finds a mahram (a relative one may not marry), she performs Hajj. If she is in despair of finding a mahram, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Her husband is not required to perform Hajj with her unless he wishes to. If he performs Hajj with her, his expenses are her responsibility. In fact, the default is that the wife’s expenses are the husband’s responsibility, but if he performs Hajj with her, his expenses are her responsibility. Yes.
