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?

i would agree with your reasoning.
however this is what he said in this course, so i would recommend ppl to look it up b/c i only know what he has said. inshallah i will also try to find out the truth.
but i doubt the shaikh was trying to get out of his responsibility. most of the course is all about how men need to treat women better and give them their rights and buy them flowers.
but either way i don't know if i've heard of an instance when a husband denied a wife hajj and went himself. at least not in my community. most men usually can't function without their wives, esp if they are older when they go to hajj.
