The husband preventing his wife from performing Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This husband is preventing his wife from performing Hajj and 'Umrah. They have been in conflict for years, and she is upset. She has not yet performed the obligatory Hajj. Does the husband have the right to do this?

Answer:
No, he does not have the right to prevent her from performing the obligatory Hajj if she has a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to travel with her and she has not yet performed the obligatory Hajj. It is not permissible for him to prevent her, and she should not obey him in this matter. Yes.
