The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner says: “O honorable Shaykh, a woman and her mahram went for Hajj, and this mahram died during the Hajj. What is the ruling? Does she complete the Hajj without a mahram, or does she return and not complete the Hajj?”
The Shaykh : The scholars said: If a woman’s husband dies while she is on the road, if he is close to her home, it is obligatory for her to return. If he is far away, she has the choice: if she wishes, she may continue her journey, and if she wishes, she may return to her husband’s house and observe her waiting period there. Yes.
