Question:
Is a husband required to perform Hajj on behalf of his wife?
Answer:
No, a husband is not required to perform Hajj on behalf of his wife, nor is she required to perform it on behalf of him, nor is a father required to perform it on behalf of his child, nor is a child required to perform it on behalf of his father. The ability to perform Hajj lies with the person himself; he is only obligated to perform Hajj if he is able to do so with his own money. However, if a husband volunteers to perform Hajj on behalf of his wife, or a child performs it on behalf of his father, or a parent performs it on behalf of their children, they will be rewarded for doing so.

May Allah reward you.
