Mahram for a Female in Her Haj Journey

1. It is necessary for a female to have her husband or a mahram (male relative with whom nikaah is not permissible, such as brother, grandfather, et al) accompanying her on her Haj journey.
2. It is not permissible for her to go for Haj with a mahram who is na-baaligh (underage) or not at all Deeni conscious.
3. When she finds a trustworthy mahram, now her husband cannot stop her from going for Haj. If the husband refuses her permission, she must still go.
4. It is not permissible for even a girl close to the age of buloogh (puberty) to go without a mahram.
5. It is furthermore not permissible for a near-adolescent girl to go for Haj with a non-mahram (a person who is not her Shar’i mahram).
