Wanting to perform 'Umrah but not finding a mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We will take a call from Sister Umm Faisal. Please go ahead, Sister Umm Faisal. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you peace. The voice is far away. Peace be upon you. And upon you peace. And upon you peace. Honorable Shaykh, I have a question. Please, go ahead. We have the ability to perform 'Umrah; we can perform it, but my brothers are lazy about taking us to perform 'Umrah. We have the ability to perform 'Umrah, but her brothers, Shaykh, are lazy.

Answer:
'Umrah is not obligatory. If it is facilitated with a mahram who takes the woman and performs 'Umrah with her, that is a good thing, and he is rewarded for it. He is rewarded for the 'Umrah, and he is rewarded for accompanying his sister and helping her in righteousness and piety. However, it is not required of them, because 'Umrah is not obligatory. And you are judged by your intentions. If you intend to perform 'Umrah and desire it, but you left it off because you were unable to do it, and if you had been able, you would have done it, then the reward of the one who performs 'Umrah will be written for you, if Allah wills.
