Is the wife obligated to visit her husband's family before traveling for Hajj, despite the disputes and transgressions they have committed against her?
A Muslim is not permitted to abandon his Muslim brother for more than three days for personal reasons. If he has a right against him, it is recommended for him to forgive. He must maintain ties with relatives before and after Hajj, as opportunity allows. Their reconciliation is not a condition for the validity of Hajj, whether before or after it. The husband's relatives are not considered kin ( رحم ) to the wife unless there is another kinship connection.
