Wife completing her hajj after her husband passes away while waiting for the days of hajj
Question
A couple went for hajj and after completing the umrah, while waiting for the days of hajj, the husband passed away. What must the wife do? Can she complete the hajj?
Answer
She should complete her hajj. It is going to be impractical for her to leave to come back home. She will join the hajj group that she joined and return as soon as the hajj is over.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
