Obligation of Hajj

1. Hajj is obligatory on free, sane, healthy adults if:

• They are capable of [affording] provision and transportation, in excess of one’s dwelling, of that which is essential, and the maintenance of one’s family until the time of his return, and
• The way is safe, and
• For a woman, her having a mahram or husband to perform hajj with her, is considered. It is not permissible for her to perform hajj without [these] two if there is between her and Makkah a distance of three days’ and nights’ journey.
