but a man taking his wife is not obligatory but a kindness.

but if u make it mahr, it IS obligatory.


but i don't know if scholars differ on this opinion. allahu alim.
I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like this shaikh is trying to find an easy way out for himself and other men. Your pre-marriage guardian is your father, and of course he is responsible for paying for your hajj if you're unmarried. Once you're married, your husband becomes your legal guardian, and all responsibilities that the father undertook as a guardian automatically shifts to the husband. Now it sounds really ridiculous to say that the son has to take his mother to hajj, but not her husband, who is her legal guardian, isn't it?
