The Ruling on a Woman Performing Hajj Without a Mahram

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Our sister says: I have already performed the obligatory Hajj, and I want to volunteer for an additional one, based on the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) where he said, "When the work of the son of Adam falls short, He says: 'Look, does My servant have any voluntary acts?'" She also asks: Is it permissible to send someone to perform Hajj on my behalf, due to the unavailability of a mahram (guardian)? May Allah reward you with good. Yes.

Answer:
Since you have already performed the obligatory Hajj, praise be to Allah. If it becomes easy for you to perform Hajj as a voluntary act with a mahram (guardian) present, that is an increase in good. If it does not become easy, the obligatory Hajj is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. You should spend the money on other projects, such as feeding the poor and giving charity to the needy. If a mahram (guardian) becomes available for you in the future and you perform Hajj as a voluntary act, that is a good thing. Yes.
