Hajj is a worship required by Allāh to his servants who can carry it out. The obligation of this pilgrimage is general, covering all able-bodied Muslims, whether male or female. However, the obligation of this pilgrimage for women has raised many questions among the public. It is due to the hadith, which forbids women to travel alone without being accompanied by their husband or mahram. This study aimed to find out the opinions of classical and contemporary scholars about womens pilgrimage without being accompanied by their mahram. This research is normative analysis research in the form of library research. The method used is the method of content analysis with descriptive and comparative techniques. The study results reveal that there are differences of opinion among scholars regarding the departure of women to perform the pilgrimage, the differences of opinion occur in both classical and contemporary scholars. As with contemporary scholars, Muhammad bin Salih al-Utsaimin argues that a woman's pilgrimage without a mahram is legal, but her journey without a mahram is forbidden. Meanwhile, Yūsuf al-Qaradhāwī argues that the pilgrimage for women not accompanied by their mahram is legal and without sin.
