Is it permissible for a woman aged 33 to perform Hajj without a mahram, knowing that her father is deceased, and she will travel upon an invitation from a Saudi friend who can facilitate her entry into Saudi Arabia without a mahram, and she will perform the ritual with her friend's family and husband, who are a safe company?

The ruling on a woman traveling without a mahram has been previously mentioned, as has the scholarly disagreement regarding her travel for the obligatory Hajj with a safe company. If a woman is not financially able to perform Hajj, it is not obligatory for her to do so, even if she finds a safe company or someone who offers to cover her Hajj expenses. Therefore, she is advised to remain in her country and not expose herself to a journey that many scholars deem unlawful, in order to achieve something for which she incurs no sin by not performing.
