The ruling on female teachers and maids traveling for Hajj without a mahram

The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on female teachers traveling to distant schools without a mahram, and a maid traveling for Hajj without a mahram? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
All of this is not advisable. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A woman must not travel except with a mahram" . However, some of the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) permit it if she is with a group of women and is in a safe situation, as she may be secure with a group of women out of necessity. A group of scholars has permitted this. What appears from the evidence is prohibition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says, "A woman must not travel except with a mahram" . One should be cautious of this leniency. She should not perform Hajj except with a mahram. She does not have to perform Hajj except with a mahram, and praise be to Allah. As for the female teachers, it should be that every town has its own teachers, so that every town’s teachers are from that town, so that the authority is not forced to allow female teachers to travel without a mahram. They should strive to have every teacher be from the same town where the school is located.

The questioner:
What about in a university, and the maid, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
And the maids are the same. Maids do not travel except with a mahram. But if the family she serves travels with her, and she does not come except with a mahram, then they have leeway in this, if Allah wills. If they all travel and they all perform Hajj.

The presenter:
And what does he say, put it down?

Another questioner:
He wants to call the adhan. He wants to call the adhan.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
Peace be upon you, Shaykh.

May Allah keep you safe, Yemen. The annoyance, the annoyance. I mean

Mansur ibn Nasir, one of the students of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen.

The Shaykh:
Ya'qub.

Another questioner:
And if you are considering it, it is upon you.

The Shaykh:
Yes, we have answered your question.

The presenter:
No, I didn’t bring you anything.

The Shaykh:
He read it, he read it. So it stays like this. Or behind a brother. Praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
If Allah wills, your turn will come. This will be your turn, if Allah wills. All the brothers, look at the hall, let us wait for each one of these. Behind, he says, "My question, my question." And so, because of the trust, no one has come forward.
