The ruling on a woman who went for Hajj without her husband's knowledge while she was in conflict with him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A woman says: A severe conflict arose between me and my husband, which nearly led to divorce. During this period, I performed the obligatory Hajj with my father without my husband's permission. I am in conflict with him and there is no contact between us. When my husband learned of this, he was not pleased because I had not sought his permission. What is the ruling on my Hajj? Am I required to repeat it? It is an obligatory duty, so what is required of me?

Answer : As for the Hajj, it is valid, whether it was an obligatory duty or a voluntary act. As for her traveling without her husband's permission, it depends: if the fault lies with the husband, she is excused; if the fault lies with her, she is not excused, and she must ask her husband for his forgiveness. I am here asking her husband to forgive her, and I am asking her to return to her husband and to repair the relationship between them and her husband.
