If I want to travel to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or visit, how can I do this as a female who doesn’t have a Mahram?
I am estranged from my father, I have no brothers and I am not married. In this situation how am I able to travel to and within Saudi Arabia, if I ever plan to go there? If I go there, it is very unlikely that my grandfather is able to come, because he is too old. I don’t have any uncles. What does Islam say about women in situations like this? I have 5 sisters. Thanks
In fact, Mahram is not important if you travel with a group . Mahram is a condition for woman if she wants to travel far of her hometown in a non safe place or country. The prophet even asks men to travel together not lonely. Some non-muslims understand Mahram condition Incorrectly or they want to.
Islam understands woman, doesn’t ask her to do a hard job, travailing far with out help. Islam want men to Pamper their women, not leaving them alone, or doing an offensive job as kissing men feet and clean them as chrestians believe!

Why on earth a woman would elect to be Muslim is beyond me. Your religion treats you like second class citizens and in countries like Saudi Arabia - the one you want to visit! - women are treated like filth. They cannot go out and walk unaccompanied, cannot vote, cannot drive a car, and so much more. All religion is inherently evil but yours really elevates it to a new level.
Why not come to your senses and throw off the shackles of superstition and religion and take your place in the world as everyone’s equal? There is no god, after all.
Good luck.

I am in the same situation like you … but Hajj is an order only to those whom can do it… so you are out of this order till you have the ability … I am not with the law of The Saudi Arabia that the woman must have a Mahram… because the ones like us feel sorry that they can’t visit the Kaaba within an honest group or through a trusted terrorist company … so we have nothing to do exempt waiting for the age 45 which we can go with no Mahram, or till marry ….
Just ask God to give you what you hope, and be sure that He will awarded you… Keep praying and reading in The Holly Qur’an… with both of them you will face your face towards God Himself….
