The ruling on Hajj for a woman who died before performing it due to the absence of a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister says: Shaykh, if a woman is unable to perform Hajj because she has no mahram (relative one may not marry) and she has no money, and she dies before performing this obligation, is Hajj dropped from her?
Answer:
Hajj does not become void for her as long as she is able to perform it with her money, but she did not find a mahram and died before a mahram was found. In that case, Hajj is performed from her money; someone acts as her proxy to perform Hajj, and the costs of Hajj are paid from her wealth. This is because the obligation fell upon her, and her delay in performing it was due to the absence of a mahram. So if a mahram is found, a proxy is appointed to perform Hajj on her behalf, and he is given some of her money, the amount sufficient to perform Hajj on her behalf. Hajj does not become void for her as long as she is able to afford it with money. As for her delaying it due to the lack of a mahram, this is based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 if she had a mahram with her. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good,
