Question
Assalamulaikum… If I have inherited e.g about 25000$ from my father’s inheritance. And I have that amount at the time of hajj.. But I have needs as a shelter I do not have shelter of my own.. Nor does my husband have a guaranteed shelter..
He works.. So what’s the ruling regarding me going for Haj.. My husband had already Haj
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, hajj is fardh on a woman if she possesses wealth sufficient for the hajj journey, accommodation, food and all related expenses.[1] Furthermore, a woman who has to travel more than the safar distance (48 miles) for hajj can only do so if a Mahram accompanies her.[2]
If she cannot find a Mahram to accompany her, then if she has sufficient funds to pay for a Mahram to accompany her, she must do so.[3]
Providing housing and accommodation is a responsibility upon the husband. You as a wife have no obligation to provide accommodation/housing for yourself. Therefore, hajj remains fardh on you (keeping in mind the conditions mentioned above).
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
