Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a woman travels without a mahram for Hajj, is her Hajj valid? We now see many women from our country performing Hajj without a mahram, due to the high cost of Hajj with a mahram.
Answer:
Her Hajj is valid if she performs the rites of Hajj completely, including its pillars and obligations. If she does so, her Hajj is valid, but she commits a sin by leaving the mahram. So it is valid, but with sin.
