Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, a woman traveling for Hajj without a mahram. Honorable Shaykh, is she permitted to travel? And what if she travels with a group of her relatives?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram (a relative one may not marry), based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except if she has a mahram with her. So if she does not have a mahram, she waits until a mahram becomes available for her, and then she performs Hajj. Yes.
