Question:
He says: What is the ruling on the owner of a Hajj and 'Umrah tour who allowed women to perform 'Umrah or Hajj without a mahram? Does he commit a sin?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, and they commit a sin; the sin is upon them. Why did they not ask the scholars? They asked the tour owner. The tour owner wants to take their money; he wants them to perform 'Umrah; he takes their money, even if they do not have mahrams with them; that is his intention. Allah knows best. In any case, he is not a scholar. It is obligatory for them to ask the scholars. It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, neither for 'Umrah nor for anything else, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
