Is it permissible for a woman to travel alone by plane to perform Umrah from Jeddah, and what is the ruling on her traveling with a trustworthy group of women, and what is the interpretation of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) hadith to Adi concerning the departure of the dha'eenah (weak woman) from Al-Hirah, and the departure of the Mothers of the Believers during Uthman's caliphate, and Aisha's departure in the Battle of the Camel?

The hadith (definition) of Adi ibn Hatim concerning the journey of the litter from al-Hirah to the Kaaba is a matter of foretelling, not of sanctioning, or it applies when one is safe for oneself during the journey of the obligatory Hajj. The departure of the Mothers of the Believers for Hajj was with their mahrams, and Aisha departed with her brother and her sister's son. The departure of women for jihad was with their mahrams and for serving the wounded and providing water, not for fighting.
