I would like to know that does a women have to go on haj with a mahram? I would like to go on haj but what if no mahram wants to go with me… can i go alone?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I would like to know that does a women have to go on haj with a mahram? I would like to go on haj but what if no mahram wants to go with me, can I then go alone with my mother or another older woman? My father doesn’t want to go neither my brother. But my mother and I want to go very much. I am 29 yrs old not married as yet. My father says first marriage then haj. But the reason I haven’t been married is because first, its Allah’s will and we haven’t been able to find anyone suitable. I am not refusing to marry but I don’t understan why we can’t go on haj and at the same time keep looking for someone. Is it necessary to be married first?

Answer

It is only Fardh upon a woman to fulfil Hajj if she has sufficient wealth and a husband or any other Mahram relative to accompany her. if she does not have any Mahram relative to accompany her then it is not permissible for her to go for Hajj.

Even if uptil her death no Mahram is available, she cannot go for Hajj, rather it becomes Fardh upon her to make Wasiyyat of a Hajj-e-Badal. (Ahsanul Fataawa part4 pg.532)

Therefore, continuously encourage your brother/father or any other Mahram to accompany you and make abundant Du’aa to Allah Ta’ala that he opens up the wayf for you and that he grants you the ability to fulfil this pillar of Deen.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Random Q&A

  I bought shares in a listed company over a period of 7 years.  The shares were bought at various prices; some were at a higher price than the current share price, and some were bought at a lower price than the current share price. Some were bought with my own money, and some were bought with money borrowed on a 0% credit card. I recently discovered that the company is haram because it has no earnings, except from interest, and has large debt on which it pays interest. I understand that I must sell the shares, and any profit made has to be donated to charity. I need some advice on how to go about selling the shares, as the total value of my holding is less than what I paid/invested. Some shares are in profit, the majority are in a loss.  There are a few options available: 1)      Wait until the total value of the shares is equal to the  money I invested, and sell. This means that some share will be in profit,  and some will be at loss, but the profit cancels out the loss. 2)      Sell shares as each lot/tranche of shares reaches the price that I paid for them. Donate any excess to charity. This means that it may take  a long time to dispose of the shares, as the price will have to at least double. In fact, the price may never reach what I paid. Do I need to treat the shares purchased by borrowing money on credit card separately to the shares purchased using my own money. How should I deal with transaction costs? If it cost me £12 to buy 10 000 shares at 10p, and it costs me £12 to sell the shares, I have lost £24.
