Performing Hajj or staying with one's mother

Q 1: I want to head for the Sacred House of Allah (Exalted and Glorified be He) to perform Hajj or `Umrah (lesser `Umrah) but I do not have a father, a brother, a son, or a paternal or maternal uncle to leave at home to look after my 66-year-old mother and my three adult single sisters - may Allah grant them good husbands.


A: If your sisters and mother can stay without you until you return from Hajj or `Umrah, you should perform Hajj and `Umrah. However, if they cannot stay without you, you have to stay and look after them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
