Question:
A woman works at the Cameroon embassy and is not Muslim. She converted to Islam in Jeddah and wants to perform Hajj, but she does not have a mahram with her. What should she do?
Answer:
Jeddah is close; it is not a distance that permits shortening the prayer. So she may perform Hajj because Jeddah is not a distance that permits shortening the prayer. Now, she comes with a group of women in a car containing women; there is no harm in that, because this is not travel from Jeddah to Makkah; it is not travel. Now, yes, the buildings are close together, and there is no distance that permits shortening the prayer between them. Yes.
