Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

It is an obligation for the enquiring sister to endeavour to perform Hajj as soon as she can if she has the capability to perform it. Thereafter, she may visit her parents when it is possible. The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) encouraged every one who intends to perform Hajj to hasten to perform it since one might become sick or unable to perform Hajj in the future or other similar situations that may prevent him/her from performing Hajj.

Allaah Knows best.
