Does a rich husband have to sponsor his wife’s Hajj?

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
There is a wife who cannot afford to go for Hajj, but her husband is rich. Is he Islamically obliged to pay for her Hajj?.

She does not have any wealth; can she take money from her father in order to do Hajj? Can she delegate someone to perform Hajj on her behalf if she is not able to do Hajj?
She got her menses after ‘Arafah and did tawaaf when she was menstruating

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

The husband is not Islamically obliged to pay for his wife’s Hajj, even if he is rich, rather that comes under the heading of kind treatment, and she is not obliged to do Hajj because she cannot afford it. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.

It also says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (11/94): 

The husband is not obliged to pay for his wife’s Hajj as he is obliged to pay for her food, clothing and shelter, but doing so comes under the heading of kind treatment and good manners, and she is entitled to the same maintenance when travelling for Hajj as she is when staying at home.
