Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for the husband to take his wife for the Hajj of Islam?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for him, and it is not obligatory for her to perform Hajj unless she is able to do so from her own wealth. If she is able from her own wealth, [then it applies], as Allah the Exalted said:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] However, if he offers it to her, or if someone else offers it to her, she becomes able to perform Hajj by what this other person gave her. But if she does not find [the means] and is not given anything, then Hajj is not obligatory for her. Yes.

مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
