If a husband and wife go out for Hajj and the husband dies on the way, does the wife sit in mourning or complete the Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, if a woman goes out for Hajj and, after arriving in Jeddah, she hears of her husband’s death, is it permissible for her to complete the Hajj or must she sit in mourning?
The Shaykh : No, no, she completes the Hajj. She completes the Hajj because if she returns now, she will return by travel, and if she stays, she will remain in continuous travel. So she completes the Hajj, especially if it is an obligatory duty, and then she returns. And even if it is a voluntary act, she may continue. Yes, on the right.
