Should one delay Hajj for another year in obedience to a mother who refuses her son's departure for Hajj, claiming she is unprepared, especially given that her brother will be with her at home during the Hajj period?

If the mother has not performed the obligatory Hajj despite being able to, she must hasten to perform it, and the son should gently encourage her to do so.
If Hajj is obligatory upon the son, he should gently excuse himself to his mother and not delay the Hajj, as it is an immediate obligation.
If the son's Hajj is supererogatory, it is permissible for him to travel without his mother's permission as long as his brother remains with her. However, it is preferable to obey his mother and stay with her, as this is an act of filial piety.
