The ruling on completing Hajj after the death of the husband during 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She came to the Kingdom in the first month of Ramadan this year and stayed with her son, who works here. She set out with the intention of performing Hajj and then returning afterward. After she had finished her 'Umrah in Ramadan, she received the news of her husband's death in that month. Is it permissible for her to proceed with the Hajj?

Answer:
Yes, she should remain until she completes the Hajj, and then she should leave. She should do what is done for the one who is in 'iddah, because returning without having performed Hajj is a great hardship. Even if it were voluntary, yes. Yes. It does not appear to be a hardship for the one who is wronged and whose stomach is in pain. Rather, a specific, independent reward comes to the one who is patient and seeks reward from Allah.
