Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a woman wants to travel for the sake of 'Umrah or for the obligatory Hajj, is it obligatory for her to accompany a mahram with her in that, or is it excused in this matter?
Answer:
A mahram is required. A mahram is required for Hajj and other travel. It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel unless she has a mahram with her. As for Hajj, if she does not find a mahram, she waits until one is found. If one is found, she goes; otherwise, if she loses hope of finding a mahram, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
