Is it permissible for a woman to go for 'Umrah without a mahram if she is among those who reside in Makkah?

The questioner:
Is it permissible for a woman to go for 'Umrah without a mahram if she is among those who reside in Makkah? If the distance reaches the distance of qasr (shortening the prayer)

The Shaykh:
then it is not permissible for her except with a mahram. The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) two days, meaning for the mount, except with a mahram. In another narration, it is one day and one night. So it is not permissible for her to travel the distance of qasr except with a mahram, whether for Hajj or otherwise. Because a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him that he had signed up for the expedition of such-and-such, and his wife wanted to perform Hajj, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to travel with his wife. This indicates that a mahram is a condition for her in Hajj and in other travel. Yes.

The questioner:
Meaning that if the departure of the people of 'Umrah from Makkah is less than the distance of qasr, then it is valid for her without a mahram?

The Shaykh:
Without a mahram, but if there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in that, or if she is feared for, then she does not go out. Only if she is safe from fitnah. Yes.
