The husband preventing his wife from performing the obligatory Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: His wife is preventing her from performing Hajj, and she has been upset for years because she has not fulfilled the obligation of Hajj. He says, "Your father is responsible for making you perform Hajj."
Answer:
No, if she has not performed the Hajj of Islam, and Allah has made it easy for her to have a mahram (a relative one may not marry) and she has the financial means, then it is not permissible for him to prevent her. Just as it is not permissible for him to prevent her from prayer, likewise he must not prevent her from performing the obligatory Hajj if the conditions are met on her part. He must not prevent her from that; this is not his right.
