A woman traveling for Hajj with a group without a mahram, and the attribution of the opinion to Ibn Taymiyyah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: It is often attributed to the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he permits a woman to travel for Hajj without a mahram if she is with a safe group. Is this his correct opinion?

Answer:
The one who says this should answer from the Shaykh’s words with a written or printed text. If he says it without a source, we do not accept it. The Shaykh does not permit a woman to travel without a mahram. Rather, they permitted a woman to travel without a mahram in the case of hijrah (migration). If she migrated and had no mahram, she was allowed to migrate even if she had no mahram. This indicates the importance of migration in the path of Allah the Exalted and leaving the lands of disbelief, so a mahram is not required for her in migration. But in Hajj, 'Umrah, and other travels, it is necessary, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) except with a mahram. What some of the pretentious ones say does not replace the mahram. They say if she is with a group, if she is with a group, there is no need for a mahram.
Now, if she falls ill, if she needs to be carried, to be delivered, and to be cared for, who will care for her except her mahram? The foreigners say if she is in a plane with many passengers, she does not need a mahram. We say, suppose the plane, for example, is unable to land in the place where her mahram is to receive her. This often happens to planes. Who will receive her in the country where the plane is forced to land? If she falls ill, who will care for her?
These things are not permissible to be said regarding the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) except with a mahram. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said . He was told to return from the jihad to perform Hajj with his wife. Do they play with fatwas and opinions according to their views? These people are accountable before Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
