The ruling on a woman traveling without a 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.
