What is the ruling if a woman performing Hajj (Muhrima) dies while en route?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
If a woman dies while in the state of Ihram en route to Hajj, she shall complete the Hajj if the distance traveled is considered significant. This ruling applies particularly when the Hajj is obligatory (Fard), as the obligation is more binding. This concession for proceeding is granted because her travel is necessitated by the requirement of performing Hajj, and proceeding to fulfill the obligation takes precedence over the prohibition of traveling without a Mahram (male guardian) in this specific context.
