The Obligation of Hajj for Women

SUMMARY: A woman who has never been on Hajj should not abandon the obligation of Hajj even if she does not have a mahram or her mahram cannot accompany her, and should go in a group of women.

Malik said, concerning a woman who had never been on hajj, "If she doesn't have a mahram, or if she has, but he cannot come with her, she does not abandon Allah's making of the hajj obligatory for her. Let her go in a group of women".
