A woman who does not find a to travel with her is not obligated to perform Hajj or . She is excused for not undertaking it, and it is impermissible for her to travel for Hajj or anything else without a mahram. She must be patient until Allah facilitates one of her mahrams to travel with her. If a servant resolves to perform an act of obedience but an excuse prevents him from doing so, he is rewarded as if he had performed it.
