What is the ruling on a woman leaving the Haram to al-Tan'im without a mahram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you. A woman asks: Is it permissible for a woman, if she is from the people of Makkah, to perform 'Umrah without a mahram?

Answer : First, we must know that some scholars have said that there is no 'Umrah for the people of Makkah at all, whether male or female. Others have said that they do have an 'Umrah, and this is the correct view. However, it is not permissible for them to enter the state of ihram from their homes; rather, they must go out to the nearest point of al-Hal, whether from al-Tan'im, from 'Arafah, or from the direction of al-Hudaybiyyah. The important thing is that they leave the Haram and enter al-Hal.
As for a woman going out to perform 'Umrah without a mahram, it appears that this is not considered travel now, especially to al-Tan'im, because al-Tan'im has become part of Makkah now; houses have reached al-Tan'im and even passed it.
