Conditions of Ability for a Woman to Perform Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters asking says: What are the conditions of ability for a woman to perform Hajj?

Answer:
A woman is like a man; it is obligatory for her to have the provisions that will carry her there and back, and to have suitable transportation. A third condition for a woman is the presence of a mahram (a relative one may not marry) who performs Hajj with her. If she has the provisions and the mount, but does not find a mahram, she waits until she finds a mahram, then she performs Hajj. If she is desperate for a mahram, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
