The Ruling on a Wife Performing Hajj Without Her Husband's Permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it valid for a wife to perform Hajj without her husband's permission? And is permission required for this woman to perform Hajj, given that her husband has been delaying her for years, and she wants to perform Hajj with her brothers and relatives, but he refuses?
Answer:
He has no right to do that. If a woman who is obligated to perform Hajj is able to perform it and has a mahram (a relative one may not marry), her husband has no right to prevent her, and she is not required to obey him in that matter; rather, she should proceed to perform Hajj. As for voluntary Hajj, he has the right to prevent her. Yes.
