The Hajj of Nurses and Servants Without a Mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on nurses and servants performing Hajj through a sponsor or without a mahram, given that the camps are for the mutawwifin?

Answer:
It is not appropriate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A woman should not travel except with a mahram.لا تسافر إلا مع ذي محرم
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2566
This leniency is not appropriate. Even if some scholars have permitted it and some scholars have issued a fatwa allowing it, it should be avoided. One should not perform Hajj except with a mahram, and one should not be lenient in this matter, even if she is with other women. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
A woman should not travel except with a mahram.لا تشبه الامرأة إلا مع المحرم،
and one fears its dire consequences. Yes.
