Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a Mahram. However, if she done the Hajj without a Mahram, the Hajj (obligation) will be valid with dislikeness, but the account of her being involved in such a sin, she will have to Repent. (Hashiyatut Tahtawi pg. 728/ Aap ke Masaail aur unka hal vol. 4, pg. 82)

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘It is not permissible for a female to travel without her Mahram for three days.’ (Mishkaat vol. 1/ Tirmidhi Vl.3 pg.472) The Jurists have calculated the journey of three days as 77 kms.

And Only allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
