Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from France who says: I want to perform Hajj this year, if Allah wills, with my daughter, but we have not found a mahram for us to accompany us on the Hajj. Her question is: Is it permissible for us to go with a group from France without a mahram?
Answer:
No,Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 from France or anywhere else. Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanting to go on a military expedition, to enlist in the expedition, and he informed him that his wife had gone out to perform Hajj. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Sahih al-Bukhari 3061 The condition for a woman to perform Hajj herself is the presence of a mahram. So if she does not find one, she waits until one is found. If she is desperate and cannot find one, she appoints someone to perform Hajj on her behalf. Yes.
