Can a woman go to umrah alone? Does hajj become fard for a person who performs umrah?

The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
According to Hanafi madhhab, it is not permissible for a woman to go on a journey alone; therefore, it is not appropriate for you to go to umrah without a mahram man like your brother, paternal uncle and maternal uncle.
However, "you can go to umrah and hajj without a mahram man thanks to the precautions that are taken and suitable companions and if there is security of life, wealth and honor by imitating Shafii madhhab." (Prof. Dr. Hayrettin Karaman)
Hajj does not become fard for a person who performs umrah. There are certain conditions for hajj; if a person has them, hajj becomes fard for him/her.
