Woman doing Hajj with a group of
women and with no mahram
A woman says: I live in the
Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia)
because I work here. I went for Hajj last year, and there were with me two of
my female colleagues, but there was no mahram with us. What is the ruling
concerning that?.
Praise be to Allah.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
This action – Hajj without a mahram – is haraam because of the hadeeth of Ibn
‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) say, when he was delivering a sermon, “No woman
should travel except with a mahram.” A man stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah,
my wife has set out for Hajj, and I have signed up for such-and-such a military
campaign.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Go and
do Hajj with your wife.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3006; Muslim, 1341.
So it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. A
mahram is a man whom she is forever forbidden to marry because of blood ties or
for a permissible reason. This is also subject to the condition that he be an
adult of sound mind. A minor child cannot be a mahram, and neither can one who
is not of sound mind. The reason for a mahram’s presence being required is so
that he can look after her and protect her, so that she will not be bothered by
those who do not fear Allah and do not show mercy to the slaves of Allah.
