Question: How can a female who doesn’t have a living mahram perform Hajj?

It is compulsory for a woman to be accompanied by a mahram to travel for Hajj. If at present she does not have a mahram then she must wait in the hope that one becomes available. In the meantime, she should make financial provisions for the journey and appoint an advocate/trustee with the instruction that if she died before being able to perform Hajj then they are to arrange a Hajj by proxy on her behalf.
