The ruling on the second wife of a deceased father performing Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man from al-Bahah says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and did not take his second wife to perform Hajj. Is it obligatory for me, his eldest son, to take her to perform Hajj? And is there a sin on my father for that? Knowing that I wish to clear his conscience of that.
Answer:
Hajj is obligatory for her if she is able to do so from her own wealth and in her own body, and if she finds a mahram (a relative one may not marry), it is obligatory for her, not for her husband, except in the sense of doing good and helping her. So if you want to do this as a kindness to her and as dutifulness to your father, that is a good thing. Yes.
