Hajj is not obligatory for a woman without a mahram.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then, it is important for us to know that Hajj is not obligatory for a woman unless she has a mahram. So, if she does not find a mahram, there is no Hajj upon her, even if she is wealthy; there is no Hajj upon her. Why? Because she cannot do it. Can she not do it physically, or can she not do it religiously? Answer: Religiously. Physically, she can; she can go with people and perform Hajj, but religiously she cannot, because it is not permissible for her to travel without a mahram. Yes, even for Hajj, even for Hajj. The evidence: Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said: meaning he was enrolled in the expedition, so the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 718 This indicates that it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, not even for Hajj. Do not be deceived by people’s negligence in this matter; do not be deceived. You must obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not pay attention to anyone, as long as the Messenger of Allah is preaching to the people, announcing from the pulpit: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2565 So, Allah says about the believers, He says that they say: [Al-Ahzab 33:36] Look, my brother, if you find yourself, when Allah and His Messenger command you with something, choosing other than the command of Allah and His Messenger, know that your faith is deficient. [Al-Ahzab 33:36] Rather, they say: and they are led with the most complete leadership. This is the believer. So, if a woman dies and she has great wealth, but she has no mahram, does she sin? No, she does not sin, because she will meet Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If He asks her, "Why did you not perform Hajj?" she says, "Your Prophet said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2565" And there is no Hajj upon her. There is no Hajj upon her because she is unable, religiously or physically? Religiously. And religious inability is like physical inability, and there is no difference.
I say this and I seek forgiveness from Allah for myself and for you and for all Muslims from every sin. And now it is time to answer the questions.
We see that the questions should be in writing because it is more accurate. Yes, that is right.
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. And after that, this is the first meeting after the blessed month of Ramadan, and here are questions about the religion that His Eminence the Shaykh spoke about.
I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) preaching, saying: "Do not travel except with a mahram." So a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my wife has gone out for a need, and I have enrolled in such and such an expedition."
سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يخطب يقول : لا تسافر إلا مع ذي محرم، فقام رجل وقال يا رسول الله إن امرأتي خرجت حاجة وإني اكتتبت في عزوة كذا وكذاGo and join your wife in Hajj
انطلق فحج مع امرأتكA woman should not travel except with a mahram
لا تسافر امرأة إلا مع ذي محرمWe heard and we obeyed.
سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَاIt is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْIt is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair
