Is it permissible for a woman to travel and perform Hajj with a group of women without a mahram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to perform Hajj with a group of women without a mahram?

Answer:
It is not permissible. The woman whose husband the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent back from the expedition to perform Hajj with her was with the group of pilgrims, meaning she went out alone and traveled alone with the pilgrims. And despite this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her husband back to perform Hajj with her.
to travel except with a mahramأن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرم
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049
, and it did not say “except if she is with a group of women.”
