The problem arose when I said this in  a gathering of friends where wives were also present and since then I  am under hot water.<\/div>\n<p>Now what do the authorities on religion say about this issue?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  is not mandatory for the husband to pay the expenses of her wife&#8217;s hajj  whether she herself can afford it or not. Of course it would be  generous of him if he does so but it is in no way his obligation. <\/p>\n<div>Worship rituals relate to the individual alone. Thus for example if a wife is the owner of some <em>zakatable<\/em> jewelry, it is she who is liable to pay its <em>zakah<\/em> and not her husband. Similar is the case with other religious obligations.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Dr. Shehzad Saleem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6749\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  have a small religious question for you.
