The answer

For Hajj to be obligatory, Islam, puberty, sanity, freedom, and ability are required. A woman adds the condition of having a mahram or husband accompany her on the journey. Jurists have differed regarding the ruling on a woman performing Hajj without a mahram if she finds a safe companionship; some view it as obligatory for her, while others believe it is impermissible for her to go for Hajj without a mahram.
