Husband being present with his wife during tawaaf and sa'ee

Q: Is it necessary for a woman to be with her mahram to perform tawaaf e ziyarah and saee. I know women can't perform hajj without a mahram. But does he have to be with her physically for the above 2 actions to be valid for her or can she perform the above mentioned actions alone while her mahram is in the hotel.

A: To avoid any complications and fitnah it is best that the mahram be around, though it is not a requirement.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
