Question:
Finally, the questioner asks: Does a wife have the right to perform 'Umrah without her husband's permission? And does this apply to Hajj if it is the obligatory Hajj?
Answer:
The obligatory Hajj, or rather the obligatory 'Umrah, the husband has no right to prevent her from performing it, just as he cannot prevent her from performing the obligatory prayer and fasting. This is an individual obligation upon her, so he has no right to prevent her if she is able to perform the obligatory Hajj or 'Umrah. As for the voluntary ones, he has the right to prevent her.
