Female travelling for umrah with one's male cousin

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.

A: Your mother can go with them as your khala's son will be her mahram on the journey. You cannot accompany them on the journey as you do not have a mahram.

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