Question:
Can Muslim women go to hajj alone without a male companion?
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
It is not permitted for a woman to travel to Hajj unless she has her husband or a mahram travelling with her. This is due to the hadith of the Prophet (saw): “A woman is not to perform Hajj except when there is a mahram with her.”[1]
Only Allah knows best
