The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks, saying: I would like to go to Makkah to Umm al-Qura University, so is it permissible for me to go with the maid, knowing that I live in Jeddah?
The Shaykh:
If the maid is Muslim, meaning without a mahram, without a mahram it is not permissible. Even if she is with one woman or a thousand women, it is not permissible for her to travel unless she is with a mahram, not just the maid. Yes.
The questioner:
She is a resident of Jeddah, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
For a resident of Jeddah, the requirement of a mahram is waived. If she wants to go from Riyadh or from a long distance, a mahram is necessary. Yes.
