The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : There is an elderly woman, and she has an older sister. This woman takes care of her older sister by washing her, dressing her, feeding her, and giving her drink. This sister has not made Hajj obligatory upon herself until now. Is it permissible for her to go perform Hajj, given that there is no one to take care of her sister?
The Shaykh : If the older sister is in a state of dire necessity, then Hajj is not obligatory upon her. However, if it is merely that she is more gentle with her than others and provides better care, and someone else can perform the obligation, then if she is able to find the means by securing the financial means and a mahram, it is obligatory for her to perform Hajj.
The questioner : And if she does not find?
The Shaykh : If she does not find what?
The questioner : I mean, someone to take care of her.
The Shaykh : Absolutely, I mean?
The questioner : Yes, absolutely.
The Shaykh : Yes, she stays with her and does not go.
