Q
Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to travel to Saudi Arabia to perform the rituals of hajj or umrah without being accompanied by a mahram?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
- A Mahram is someone you cannot marry. The idea behind travelling with a mahram is to protect women as there can be issues or stresses. Travelling with a mahram is a blessed concept’ it is something from our Sunnah.
- The statement of not travelling alone has to do with travel and not the Hajj itself.
