Q: I am a 33 year old woman. I am the maternal aunt of my 12 year old nephew. Is it permissible for the both of us alone to perform umrah.
A: A boy who has reached the age of twelve lunar years can be a mahram for his female relative (who he cannot marry) during the journey. Hence, it is permissible for you to travel with your twelve year old nephew for umrah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
