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.

Abstract: Discussion of the obligations of mahram for women in carrying out the pilgrimage has been discussed since the period of classical scholars to modern age. In fact, for women the pilgrimage is a means of jihad for them. Various thoughts have been put forward by scholars to interpret the Hadith about mahram, starting from textual understanding, which still requires mahram, to the discovery of ‘illat. This last understanding leads to the conclusion that having mahram is no longer necessary because the security as ‘illat can be realized. It is in this connection that this paper aims to compromise between textual understanding and the study of ‘illat so that it can be a solution for women pilgrims. This study used a descriptive analytical method with ‘illat study approach. The results showed that security for women pilgrims can be realized by using the meaning of mahram in terms of language, namely people who are forbidden to marry each other, so that fellow women is also a mahram. Therefore, their departure together with other women can realize the demands of nash without leaving nash textually. Keywords: mahram; women; contemporary; ‘illat; security. Abstrak:Perbincangan kewajiban mahram bagi perempuan dalam melaksanakan perjalanan haji sudah dibicarakan sejak periode ulama klasik sampai kontemporer. Bahkan, bagi seorang perempuan ibadah haji merupakan sarana jihad bagi mereka. Berbagai pemikiran dikemukakan oleh ulama untuk memaknai hadis tentang mahram, mulai dari pemahaman tekstual, yang masih tetap mewajibkan bermahram, sampai kepada penemuan ‘illat. Pemahaman terakhir ini membawa kepada kesimpulan bahwa bermahram tidak diperlukan lagi karena keamanan sebagai ‘illat sudah dapat direalisasikan. Dalam kaitan inilah tulisan ini bertujuan mengkompromikan antara pemahaman tekstual dengan kajian ‘illat agar bisa menjadi solusi bagi jamaah haji perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskripstif analitis dengan pendekatan kajian ‘illat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keamanan bagi jamaah haji perempuan dapat terealisir dengan menggunakan makna mahram dari segi bahasa, yaitu orang-orang yang haram saling menikah, maka sesama perempuan juga termasuk mahram. Oleh karena itu kepergian mereka bersama-sama dengan perempuan lainnya sudah dapat merealisasikan tuntutan nash tanpa meninggalkan nash secara tekstual. Kata kunci: mahram; perempuan; kontemporer; ‘illat; keamanan.
