Husband to arrange for wife to make Hajj

Question

Is it obligatory on the husband to make arrangements for his wife to perform Hajj?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

A husband is not obliged to bear the expenses of his wife’s Hajj even if he is rich. If a husband bears the expenses of Hajj of his wife it is considered as a favor on her and a good act.

A woman is herself obliged to perform Hajj if she is able to do so; otherwise, Hajj is not compulsory upon her.

Allah knows best.
