Travelling with a mahram

Q: My khala and her 26 year old son are travelling for Umrah. My mom wants to go too. I am a 27 year old female. Can I accompany my mother? My brother can not go.

Q: I have planned to go for Umrah in July 2025 along with my mother (age 62 years). We will go together and perform Umrah together. But after that, my mother will stay at the house of her own sister's daughter. She will stay there for 15 days. Meanwhile, I will return alone after performing Umrah. She will also return alone from Makkah to Delhi and I will pick her up from Delhi Airport. Whether, returning alone from Makkah to Delhi for my mother is permissible.

Q: Can I (daughter) travel with my mother and do umrah with a guide male. As I do have a mahram brother to take with us but couldn’t take him along with us due to financial expenses.

Please advise if it is fine for a mother and daughter to go for umrah keeping a mahram at home?

Q: A girl has a step mother, can her husband take his step mother in law for Hajj/Umrah? Is he considered as a mahram?

Q: I am a 52 year old single woman but by my appearance I look like 35 years. My question is, can I perform umrah in a group without a mahram. I am very strict about the umrah without a mahram but I also want to perform umrah. Please guide me.

Q: Saudia Arabia has announced that women do not need a mahram for umrah or hajj. They can come by their own and perform umrah or hajj. How valid is this fatwa?

My sister has gone without mehram for umrah. There are 10 females and one male (the male is not a mahram for my sister). What is the validity of her umrah? She says that the Saudi government has given a fatwa so she can go without a mahram.

When she comes back, she is planning to go with my mother who is 75 years old without a mahram after 2 months. Only the 2 of them will be going. Can they go according to the new Saudi rule?

Umrah and hajj are now very expensive and spending money and going there just to know that they were not valid feels very sad.

Q: I want to go on umrah with my mother. We don’t have a mahram, so what should we do?

Can we travel alone because as per new rule of Saudia, women can go. Please guide.

Q: Can a woman go for hajj with her son in law? Would a son in law be considered as a mahram?

Q: My father sadly passed away this year and I would love to go for umrah, can I go with my grandmother's sister and her husband? He is over 70 years old and he is like a grandfather to me. I am 25 years old.
