Is it compulsory to send one's wife for hajj

Q: If a husband has already performed Hajj, is it compulsory for him to send his wife for Hajj as well? Under what condition Hajj becomes compulsory for the wife?

A: No, it is not.

If she has sufficient wealth and her health permits and she has a mahram accompanying her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
