Question:
May Allah reward you and make your knowledge beneficial. The sender, Muhammad Ali from al-Zulfi, says: I performed Hajj with my female relatives, and an elderly woman who had no mahram joined them. I spent money on her until she completed the rites of Hajj and returned to her country with my female relatives. Does any sin attach to me in this? And what is required of that woman? Please issue a ruling for us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, whether for Hajj or for anything else.Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049 And regarding Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Therefore, the presence of a mahram is necessary, and traveling with a group of women is not sufficient in place of a mahram. She has sinned by performing Hajj without a mahram, whether she is young or old, due to the generality of the hadiths. However, her Hajj is valid; if she performed the rites, her Hajj is valid, but with the sin. She must repent, seek forgiveness, and not return to such an action. Yes.

to travel except with a mahram
أن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرمFor the man who wanted to go out to fight with the army, and his wife went out with a need, he said: “Go and perform Hajj with your wife.”
للرجل الذي أراد أن يغزو مع الجيش، وأن امرأته خرجت حاجة، فقال اذهب فحج مع امرأتك.Therefore, the presence of a mahram is necessary, and traveling with a group of women is not sufficient in place of a mahram. She has sinned by performing Hajj without a mahram, whether she is young or old, due to the generality of the hadiths. However, her Hajj is valid; if she performed the rites, her Hajj is valid, but with the sin. She must repent, seek forgiveness, and not return to such an action. Yes.
