The ruling on a woman in the waiting period going out for Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, my father passed away a week ago, and my mother is currently in the period of mourning. She wants to perform Hajj. Is it permissible for her to go out for Hajj during the period of mourning?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for her to go out for Hajj until she completes the waiting period. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the woman whose husband had died: "Stay in your house"Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1204Sahih (Darussalam), so she should not perform Hajj this year, because she is required to remain in the house.
The questioner:
And if it is not possible for me to perform Hajj except in this year, what should I do?
The Shaykh:
If she is despondent about performing Hajj, or about the ability to perform Hajj, then she appoints a substitute to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
