Primary text

The husband is not permitted to prevent his wife from proceeding to perform her obligatory Hajj if its conditions are met, she is capable, and she has a Mahram to travel with her. This is because it is an obligation, and he cannot prevent her from obligations, just as he cannot prevent her from prayer or fasting.
