The ruling on a man traveling for Hajj without taking his wife with him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (Amanah K. K.) from al-Madinah al-Nabawiyyah says: Is it permissible for a man to leave his wife at home and go for Hajj or 'Umrah without taking his wife with him?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for him to leave her at home and go for Hajj, or 'Umrah, or for prayer, or for jihad, or for his personal business needs in trade; there is nothing wrong with that. If she feels lonely, he should have a servant with her to keep her company, or he should allow her to go to her family’s home to stay with them because of the loneliness she experiences, or if there is danger to her, she should go to her family’s home, or she should have someone from her family with her to keep her company, combining both benefits. If she has someone to keep her company, such as daughters or sisters, praise be to Allah. If she does not have anyone to keep her company, she should have a female servant or servants for company, or she should go to her family’s home and stay with them until he returns.
He is not obligated to go with her every time he travels. He may travel for Hajj or 'Umrah or for trade, and the like, and she remains at home. But as mentioned earlier: if she feels lonely, he should provide her with something to remove her loneliness, such as female servants, or she should go to her family’s home. And if she has grown-up daughters or sisters, the loneliness is removed, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
