Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to travel with a maid along with the family without a mahram?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, whether she is a maid or not. This is due to the generality of the hadith: "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel except with a mahram." This applies to women in general, maids and others alike. If her mahram is with her, such as her husband, one of her brothers, or one of her mahrams, she may perform Hajj. However, if no one is with her, a mahram is required due to the generality of the hadith. Yes.
