Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman travels to perform the obligatory Hajj without her husband’s permission, is her act valid? And is that oath dropped from her?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for her to seek her husband’s permission, because this is a right he has over her, for the sake of pleasing him. If he gives permission, fine; otherwise, she performs Hajj, because the husband has no right to prevent her from performing the obligatory act. He does not prevent her from prayer, nor from fasting, nor from Hajj, if it is facilitated for her and she has not yet performed Hajj. Then she performs Hajj, even if he did not give permission. Her maintenance is not dropped from him, unless it is said that he traveled to meet her need. Yes, it appears that she traveled to meet her need, so she has no right to maintenance from him.
The presenter:
Yes.
