A fatwa translated into English in which Sh. Abdulkarim Al-Khudeir answers the following question, "Some days ago, I read Surat Aal-'Imran and found the words of Allah that men owe Hajj to Allah. This is my last semester of studying in the US and I have some money (around $2000). However, I am afraid that if I spend this money on hajj and my mother will know, she will get upset. She does not like that I am practicing Islam. On the one hand, I do not know if I have another chance to go for hajj in the future. The money for my studying is coming from the Kazakhstani government and this is my last semester in the US. In other words, after I finish, insha Allah!, I will have to go back to Kazakhstan to work for the government for 5 years and I do not know whether I will be rich enough in Kazakhstan to make Hajj. What do you think I should do? On the other hand, if Allah wills, and I save this money, I would go home and probably buy a car so that my mother, at last, will get richer. She brought me up by herself since I was 3 years old. My father died when I was 3 years old. I know how difficult it was for her to bring me up by herself without a husband and even good enough relatives. May Allah reward you for your work and let you and your family enter Paradise!"
