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?
Yeah I think there are differing opinions on that. So if a woman doesn't work and can't pay her own way and only has daughters, then nobody is obligated to take her for hajj? That doesn't seem right.
