A woman traveling for 'Umrah without a mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A sister and a mother live in our house, and I am currently working here in the Kingdom. I want to send for my mother. The question is: Is it permissible for her to come and stay with my sister in my uncle's house? And is it permissible for her to come without my mother, without a mahram, with a group of pilgrims or some of the women from the neighbors?

Answer:
A woman is not to travel except with a mahram, whether from Egypt or from elsewhere. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahramالمرأة إلا مع ذي محرم
Sahih al-Bukhari 1862
May Allah guide them all.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
