Pilgrimage of Servant Women with Groups Without a Mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have been afflicted with the matter of hiring servant women, and they wish to perform Hajj. Should we let them go with the groups, especially since some scholars have mentioned that a woman may perform Hajj with a group of women like herself?
Answer:
What some scholars mentioned is not correct. The correct view is that a woman does not perform Hajj except with a mahram, whether she is a servant or not, due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except with a mahram accompanying her. This is general; this is the word of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We are not bound by the words of other scholars. Scholars err and hit the mark. If their words contradict the evidence, we leave their words and take the evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
