Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, the requirements of Hajj are difficult for people. There is a woman who applied to go on Hajj with her husband and paid the money, but he passed away before the Hajj. If she leaves the Hajj for this year, the money she paid will not be refunded. Is it permissible for her to perform Hajj with another mahram while she is in her waiting period?
Answer:
The scholars mentioned that if a mahram is not available to her, she should wait until a mahram becomes available. If that is not possible, she should appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. This woman can postpone the Hajj until she exits the waiting period and a mahram becomes available for her in the coming years. If that is not possible, she should appoint someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
