[quote]Dear Mr. Usmani. Quote: ……. many people die during the hajj due to the rush we all knows. So for a women to performed hajj without mehram will be more difficult task. I think we are deviating from the real issue. The real question here is whether is it allowed for a woman to travel alone or not. The hadith that I mention says so very clearly ‘YES’. Accompany of a Mehram is conditional to the circumstances. Since the 20th century, the traveling has become extremely safe. Countless Muslim women travel to other countries by themselves. I am sure there must be a couple of these women in your family too. One should focus on what an Islamic Ruling is about a particular issue. One should also clearly distinguish between legal ruling and precautions taken by humans in certain circumstances. One is Mandatory and the other is dependent on circumstances. What I am saying is that it is absolutely ok for a woman to travel alone anywhere according to the Islamic Ruling. Please read the hadith again. Taking what kind of precautions is at her own discretion. We might not let go our sister out of our house in the evening in this so called Islamic country but we can without doubt let her travel alone by plane wherever she wants. So it all depends on circumstances. Quote: A favor if you could do for me to give few examples like that where ummah as whole deviate from the hadith of Prophet (pbuh) due to this type of reasons. There is a different between doing something by Ummah and the ruling of Shariah. No one will travel unless the Saudi government changes its stance on Mehram issue. You will see it yourself that the Ummah will do it when the Saudi government allows them to do so. Quote: To my knowledge in this condition one have to pray qaser salat. You must be referring to Hanafi Scholars. They even do not allow to qasr prayers if someone stays at some place for fifteen days. In the last I must say that there is difference of opinion on this issue. What I know is that great Imams like Malik, Shafi and Ibn Taymiyyah have ruled that a woman can travel in the company of reliable women for hajj.[/quote]
