Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: I married a woman who has not performed the Hajj of Islam. Is it obligatory for me to pay the costs of her Hajj?

The Shaykh:
Yes?

The questioner:
He says: I married a woman who has not performed the Hajj of Islam. Is it obligatory for me to pay the costs of her Hajj?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory for you, but be good to her. She is not required to perform Hajj as long as she is unable to do so.
And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a wayوَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
[Ali 'Imran 3:97]
And as long as she is unable, she is not required to perform Hajj, unless she is given the financial means for Hajj, in which case she is able to do so. Yes.

The questioner:
That is the end.

The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
