The Ruling on a Woman Traveling for Hajj Without a Mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I do not have a mahram (a relative one may not marry). Is it permissible to perform Hajj with women in a Hajj caravan designated for women?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travelلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرم،
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
A mahram is required; otherwise, she may not travel. A group of women does not suffice in place of a mahram. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
