Can a man stop his wife from performing Hajj?

Answered by Sh. Mustafa Umar1 min read

Short answer

If she has not performed her obligated Hajj then he cannot stop her from going. However, it is better that she try to convince him.

What the Scholars Said

Imam Ibn Abidin said: If you have already performed your obligated Hajj then he can prevent you. (Radd ul-Muhtar 3:465)

Should I do more than one ‘Umrah in one trip?
No, you should only do one ‘umrah in one trip and perform as many additional tawaf’s as you want. This was the practice of the Prophet and the Companions.
Should I perform extra Umrahs while in Makkah?
No. Perform prayers and tawaf without exiting and reentering Makkah for Umrah. The Prophet never did this. Aishah only did it since she had her menstrual period at the time and wanted to perform Umrah fully.
Should I fast the 9th of Dhul Ḥijjah when performing Ḥajj?
It is recommended only if it does not weaken you during Ḥajj.
What should I do if I make a mistake in Hajj?
There are times when a person might make a mistake in some parts of Ḥajj for one reason or another. Some mistakes may invalidate the entire Ḥajj, others would require an animal sacrifice in Makkah or giving charity as a penalty, while others would not affect the validity of the Ḥajj. An animal sacrifice consists of slaughtering a sheep, goat, or lamb in Makkah while charity consists of giving away at least six meals to the poor.
