The questioner : In his second question, he says: "I work here in the Kingdom and I want to bring my mother so she can perform Hajj with me. She is fifty-five years old and she has no mahram to bring her from Egypt. I want to do this to be dutiful to her. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in your view regarding this action?"
The Shaykh : The ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter is that her mother is not obligated to perform Hajj as long as she does not find a mahram, and provided that neither he nor she feels constrained. Indeed, Allah the Exalted has made things easy for His servants. For this reason, Allah Blessed and Exalted is He specified the condition of ability for Hajj, saying:[Ali 'Imran 3:97] And if a woman does not have a mahram, she is not able to perform Hajj, because it is not permissible for her to travel except with a mahram. If it is facilitated for him to go to Egypt and bring her, or if his mother comes with a mahram from there and he meets them, that is better. And if it is not facilitated, there is no blame on any of them. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
