The Ruling on a Woman Traveling for Hajj Without a Mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman traveling to perform Hajj without a mahram?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travelلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
except with a mahram for Hajj and other matters. This is an authentic hadith. The one who has no mahram is excused until she finds a mahram. If she is in despair of finding a mahram, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf, and she does not perform Hajj without a mahram. Yes.
