Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to allow a domestic worker to perform Hajj to fulfill her obligation, even if she is without a mahram? He notes that it is difficult for her to get another opportunity to perform Hajj from her country due to financial constraints and the long distance, and because she is originally working here without a mahram?
Answer:
The generality of the hadith: "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel except with a mahram"Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049 This is general for the domestic worker and other women; it is general for the domestic worker and other women. The fact that she came without a mahram does not justify that you grant her a dispensation to perform Hajj without a mahram. However, if she performs Hajj on her own and goes, the responsibility is on her. As for you, you do not give her permission to do so. Yes.
