The maid who came without a mahram, then asked her sponsor to allow her to perform Hajj with a group; should he allow her?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The maid who comes from a faraway country without a mahram, then asks her sponsor to allow her to go perform Hajj with a group; is it permissible for him to allow her?

Answer:
By Allah, the default is that it is not permissible for him to do this without a mahram. She is a woman and she is a Muslim, so the default is that he does not allow her. But he said: If he and his family perform Hajj, does she not perform Hajj with them? She performs Hajj with them, because if they left her, they would fear for her safety. They fear for her, so she performs Hajj with them, because this is safer for her. Yes. As for her performing Hajj without a mahram with the group, I do not know that this is permissible, given the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . Yes.
