Is it permissible for a woman to travel for Hajj without a mahram?

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on an elderly woman traveling with a group of women to perform the obligatory Hajj? It is known that her husband cannot travel with her because he did not succeed in the lottery, but he will come via another country.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, neither for Hajj nor for anything else, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . When a man wanted to go out with the army for jihad in the cause of Allah, and he informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that his wife had gone out for a need, he told him, "Go back and perform Hajj with your wife." He sent him back from the expedition to perform Hajj with his wife as her mahram. It is not permissible for a woman to perform Hajj or travel any kind of travel except with a mahram. A group of women is not a mahram for her. Yes.
