Does a father have to finance his son's Hajj and vice versa?

Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymîn, may Allah have mercy on him, was questioned about this and he replied: "This is not an obligation, capacity is a condition of acts of worship and capacity does not come from others. For best hajj packages Umrah Package December 2017. Neither party, father and son, is bound to do so. However, if the father asks his son, who has the means, the money necessary for the accomplishment of the Hajj, acceptance of the son will be part of the beneficence that has been ordered to the child vis-à-vis Of his parents, and this would be an obligation from this point of view. "

Although the majority of the scholars have declared that the woman must be accompanied by a Mahram to accomplish the Hajj, the Chaféites are of the opinion that The woman is allowed to perform compulsory Hajj accompanied by a group of trusted women or when the path is secured. The husband is therefore not permitted to prohibit his wife from compulsory Hajj. Thus stated the Standing Committee for Fatwa and Research: "Mandatory Hajj must be accomplished if all conditions related to capacity are met and the husband's permission is not part of these conditions. It is therefore not permissible for the husband to forbid his wife to perform it. On the contrary, he is asked to help him fulfill this obligation. Nevertheless, this concerns the compulsory Hajj, and the husband has the right to forbid his wife if he so wishes, as the Imam Ibn Qudama al-Hanbali said: "This concerns Hajj mandatory. As for the Hajj, Ibn al-Mundhir reported that there is a consensus that the husband has the right to forbid his wife to perform the supererogatory Hajj, because fulfilling the rights of her husband is an obligation For her and she cannot fail in this duty for something that is not obligatory for her. "

Parental authorization to accomplish compulsory Hajj is not a condition, but it is to accomplish a Hajj on supererogatory. Imam al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "They (the parents) have the right to forbid the Hadj onerogatory and they do not commit sin by doing so. On the other hand, they have no right to forbid compulsory Hajj and they would commit a sin if they did so. And the Hajj performed by a person without the permission of his parents is valid in all cases, even if the person commits a sin in the case of the supererogatory Hajj. "

It is also permissible to give a poor man Zakah money In order to fulfill the Hajj and this is the view of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, as has been authenticated concerning him: "The Hajj is one of the acts performed In the path of Allah! "

This is the legal opinion that Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:" The poor man who has not fulfilled the obligatory Hajj is given what to do. "
