May a wife perform hajj or umrah without her husband or a mahram?

Nabi ﷺ bersabda bahawa seorang wanita tidak boleh bermusafir melainkan bersama mahramnya, dan apabila seorang lelaki memberitahu baginda dia hendak keluar berperang sedangkan isterinya hendak berhaji, baginda menyuruhnya pergi berhaji bersama isterinya.
Dari riwayat yang sama, para fuqaha berbeza pendapat sama ada “mahram” itu syarat sah haji atau syarat keselamatan yang boleh digantikan dengan rombongan yang amanah. Laman ini tidak menyandarkan mana-mana pendirian itu kepada mazhab tertentu, jadi kedua-dua bacaan dinyatakan tanpa nama mazhab. Dari segi pelaksanaan, syarat mahram bagi jemaah wanita diputuskan oleh pihak berkuasa haji, jadi rujuk Lembaga Tabung Haji atau agensi anda (perlu disahkan).
Difference among the schools. One view makes a mahram a condition for permission to travel for hajj, and another view allows a woman to perform hajj in a safe group without a mahram. We do not name a school for either position because the only sources we hold are the Qur'an and the hadith collections, not works of fiqh.
