Q: Is it permissible for a woman to perform Hajj with her Qfriends who are travelling with their Mahrams in a group?

A: According to the Hana? school of Fiqh, a woman can only Atravel on a journey of more than 77 kms be this for Hajj, Umrah or otherwise, if she is accompanied by her husband or a Mahram relative.

Mahrams refer to those males that are perpetually haram for her to marry, like her father, grandfather, brothers of her father and
mother, sons, grandsons, her brothers, and sons of her brothers and sisters.

Hence if the woman concerned does not have a Mahram then she cannot travel in this way i.e. with her friends and their Mahrams.
