The Ruling on Servants Performing Hajj Without a Mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If they gather a group of servants in one car and take them for Hajj, do they sin?

Answer: The correct view is that they sin unless they have a mahram; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahramلا تسافر المرأة إلا مع ذي محرم
Sahih al-Bukhari 1862
, which covers travel for Hajj and other travel. A woman is not obligated to perform Hajj if she does not find a mahram to travel with her. Some scholars have permitted it if she is with a group of women accompanied by believing men, but there is no evidence for this, and the correct view is the opposite due to the aforementioned hadith.
