The questioner : May Allah reward you. If a woman performed Hajj without a mahram, does that mean she should perform Hajj again so that her previous Hajj is considered void?
The Shaykh : If a woman performs Hajj without a mahram, she is a sinner against Allah and His Messenger, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2565 Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 718 However, the Hajj is valid; I mean, she is not required to repeat it. Rather, she must repent to Allah and seek forgiveness for what occurred from her thereafter.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
