Q 2: What is the
ruling on a seventy-year-old widow who wants to perform Hajj during her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood)?
Is it better for her to perform Hajj if she has not performed it before or to observe her `Iddah? Please bear in mind that she does not live in
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
but very far away in
India;
and she fears she may die or fall ill and be unable to perform Hajj the following year.
A: Any widowed woman who is observing her `Iddah should complete the prescribed period and not set out for Hajj until her `Iddah is over. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
