The Ruling on a Woman Performing Hajj Without a Mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a woman performs Hajj without a mahram (a relative one may not marry), what is the ruling on her Hajj?
The Shaykh:
Her Hajj is valid, but she commits a sin because she contradicted the hadith. So she bears the sin, yet her Hajj is valid despite the sin? Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
So the presence of a mahram is a condition for the obligation, not a condition for validity. Yes.
