Why can’t woman perform the HAJJ on their own?? Plz help!!!?
I have a revert friend. She is 60 years old and converted two years back. She wants to go on Hajj but can’t as a single woman. Most women perform it with their husbands. But she can’t remarry because she feels she is too old (she is a grandmother!). How can she still perform the Hajj?
P.S. She has no Muslim males in her family either.
here the detail answer given

its shariah law you have to go with a male counterpart like a nephew uncle older brother or muslim friend something it doesn’t have to be a husband.
Saudi Arabia will only grant a Hajj visa to an unaccompanied woman if she is 45 years of age or over, traveling with an organized group and has a "letter of no objection" from her son, husband or brother.

my best friend’s mother had cancer and decided to perform Hajj. As your friend she had no male muslim relatives that could accompany her to Hajj. She wrote a letter when requesting her visa from Egypt explaining her situation and was granted permission to perform Hajj on her own. E-mail me if you want more detail information, perhaps we could help your friend perform Hajj soon Insha’Allah.

in her circumstances it is allowed if (1) the travel is safe (which will be not cuz its extremely crowded and dangerous for an elderly person to perform hajj on their own) 2. she goes with other women (hajj groups typically)

She can go on Hajj by herself. Saudi law allows a woman 45 and older to go on Hajj by herself. Islamically women cannot travel save and except with a mahram. This condition also applies to the Hajj or Umrah because it is for the protection of the woman. A woman is not physically able to stop a man from preying on her and harming her honor. She could fall prey to bad men who wish her harm. So the mahram for travel is there to protect her and keep her safe. I do not know what the woman does if she’s a convert and wants to go on Hajj.
From the Saudi Embassy website:
5.All women are required to travel for Hajj with a Mahram. Proof of kinship must be submitted with the application form. Women over the age of forty-five (45) may travel without a Mahram with an organized group, They must, however submits a no objection letter from her husband, son or brother authorizing her to travel for Hajj with the named group. This letter should be notarized.
