Leaving one's pregnant wife and going for hajj

· 1 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If my wife is pregnant and is due to give birth during the hajj time while I am away, can I still go for hajj leaving her alone?

Answer

If they are reasonably good women to take care of her in your absence, then you should go for Hajj.

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