Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Women being with one another?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Is it considered that women are mahrams (relatives one may not marry) to one another when they go out together for Hajj?
The Shaykh : Their traveling together?
The questioner : Women going out for Hajj, some with others...
The Shaykh : These women do not have mahrams with them.
The questioner : But are they not considered...?
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not permissible. The correct view is that there is no difference between a woman who is safe and one who is not safe, even for a safe woman who is with other women and does not fear for herself; it is not permissible for her to travel, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask a man, "Is your wife safe or not safe?"
