Her husband sells wine and pork and she wants to go for Hajj

Question: 6493

My husband owns a restaurant that sells wine and pork.
I am a stay at home mother of 2 young children. I want to make Hajj, Inshallah in a couple of years. My husband said he would pay for my trip b ecause I have no source of income and I don't want anyone else to raise my children.
Will it be accepted? What should I do? I know my childrenand I are young but age doesn't matter and I really need to make Hajj.Please help.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

We put the following question to Shaykh Abd-Allah ibn Jibreen:

Her husband sells wine and pork; is it permissible for her to take money from him to do the obligatory Hajj?

He answered, may Allah preserve him:

No it is not permissible, and she is to be considered as one of those who are not able (to go for Hajj).
