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

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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 permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not travel without a mahram"
but in the company of a Mahramإلا مع ذي محرم
Sahih Muslim 827f
. However, some of the scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, permit it if she is with a group of women and is trustworthy, so that she is safe with a group of women out of necessity. A group of scholars have permitted this. What appears from the evidence is prohibition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says, "Do not travel without a mahram"
but in the company of a Mahramإلا مع ذي محرم
Sahih Muslim 827f
. One should be cautious of this leniency. So she should not perform Hajj except with a mahram, and she has no obligation to perform Hajj except with a mahram. Yes. Praise be to Allah. And the teachers should be such that every country has its own teachers, so that every country has its teachers from among its own people, so that the administration is not forced to send teachers traveling without a mahram. It should be striven for that every teacher is from the same country where the school is located.

Another questioner:
And the servant, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
And the maids likewise. These are those who do not travel except with a mahram. But the people she serves, if she travels with them when she comes to serve them, then they have an obligation in this, if Allah wills, if they travel and they all perform Hajj together.

Another questioner:
He calls the adhan, he calls the adhan, may you live long. He wants to call the adhan.

The Shaykh:
Yes, Allah. What is this?

Another questioner:
I greet you with salam.

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you all safe.

The presenter:
That you take advantage of the fact that you, that you.

The Shaykh:
Meaning, he will have a child.

Another questioner:
Mansur ibn Nasir, one of the students of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen. Do not be angry with us, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Allah is the Greatest.

The presenter:
And if you are far away, then to you. Where? Where is a long distance?

The Shaykh:
Yes, did we answer your question? He read it. It is tomorrow. Or behind the brother. Hamdan.

The presenter:
If Allah wills, your turn will come to you, if Allah wills. All the brothers saw the hall, and each one of these says, "My question, my question." A word. And therefore, by Allah, the trust is that we do not put anyone before anyone else. I hope from Allah.
