Going for umrah without a mahram

Q: Can my sister travel for umrah without a mahram? Her brother is her mahram and he is already in Saudi Arabia. Can she travel with her mother for umrah?

A: It is not permissible for a woman to travel the distance of 78 km or more without a mahram. Hence, if your mother and sister do not have a mahram accompanying them during the safar, it will not be permissible for them to travel.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر سفرا يكون ثلاثة أيام فصاعدا إلا ومعها أبوها أو ابنها أو زوجها أو أخوها أو ذو محرم منها (صحيح مسلم، الرقم: 423)

وعن ابن عمر قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم سفر المرأة مع عبدها ضيعة (مجمع الزوائد، الرقم: 5302)

الحرة لا تسافر ثلاثة أيام بلا محرم (رد المحتار 6/390)

(و) مع (زوج أو محرم) ولو عبدا أو ذميا أو برضاع (بالغ) قيد لهما كما في النهر بحثا (عاقل والمراهق كبالغ) جوهرة ... لامرأة حرة ولو عجوزا في سفر (الدر المختار 2/464)

قال العلامة ابن عابدين - رحمه الله -: قوله (حرة) ... أشار به إلى أن ما استفيد من المقام من عدم جواز السفر للمرأة إلا بزوج أو محرم خاص بالحرة, قوله (في سفر) هو ثلاثة أيام ولياليها (رد المحتار 2/464)
