Is it compulsory upon the husband to take his wife for Hajj

· 4 Safar 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I planned to go for Hajj with my wife but she got pregnant and then I went alone and performed Hajj this year. My question is: Is it compulsory on me to take my wife for Hajj; if yes then when? (I heard I can't go for Hajj for next five years according to Saudi Hajj Policy as I just performed Hajj this year) Is it fardh on the husband to take his wife for Hajj?

Answer

It is not compulsory upon you to take your wife for her Hajj. She may go for Hajj with any of her mahrams (e.g. father or brother).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

When does hajj become fardh, and can I go with debt?

“Since he delayed in setting out to perform his fardh hajj, Hajj-e-Badl will have to be performed on his behalf. However, Hajj-e-Badl will only be compulsory in the case where he made a wasiyyat (bequest) that hajj be performed…”
