Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2017-05-01 07:39

Q: My father in law is very ill since the past 6 months. We have a joint family system where my mother in law, sister in law, brother in law, his wife and kids all live together. I, along with my husband want to go for Hajj this year. Is it permissible for us to go? Or should we delay our plans of performing this life time obligation keeping in view the condition of my father in law?

A: If there is someone to take care of your in-laws then you should proceed for the fardh hajj.

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