Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I vowed that if something of mine comes to pass, I will take my sister on Hajj. Does this include the cost of the pilgrimage for her, given that she does not need financial support?
Answer:
Yes, the cost is obligatory for you because you committed to taking her on Hajj, and the cost is part of what follows from that. So the cost is upon you. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
