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.
A: It is not permissible for a woman to travel the distance of 78km or more without being accompanied by a mahram. There are severe warnings that have been sounded in the Hadith for a woman who travels without being accompanied by a mahram. Hence, it is not permissible for her to travel from Makkah to Delhi alone.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
