A woman traveling for 'Umrah without her husband's permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Umm Abdullah, says that she performed 'Umrah last year with her brother and sister without seeking her husband's permission, because the wife—Shaykh Salih says—is domineering and does not want her to engage in righteous deeds. Is this permissible with her brother without his knowledge?
Answer:
If this is an obligation upon her, whether the obligation of Hajj or the obligation of 'Umrah, and he refuses to let her perform Hajj, she does not obey him. If she is able to find a mahram, she travels and performs the Hajj. However, if this Hajj or 'Umrah is voluntary, she does not travel for it without her husband's permission. Yes.
