The answer

First point: If the husband dies after being able to perform Hajj but did not perform it, the cost of Hajj must be taken from his inheritance. If the father bequeathed that Hajj be performed on his behalf, but it was not accepted, the wife can perform Hajj on his behalf after performing Hajj for herself.

Second point: Performing Hajj on behalf of another person for a fee is permissible if no volunteer is available.

Third point: There is no sin in delaying the bequeathed Hajj if the reason is restrictive Hajj regulations.

Fourth point: The wife has the right to participate in the abandoned house proportional to what she spent, but this right requires legal proof.

Fifth point: The inheritance can be divided by mutual consent, or the Sharia court can handle it.

Sixth point: Grandparents' neglect of grandchildren is contrary to emotions, customs, and Sharia. Nevertheless, it is advised not to sever ties and to encourage children to maintain kinship.
