1723. It was reported from Al-Laith bin Sa'd, from Sa'eed bin Abi Sa'eed, from his father, from Abū Hurairah, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'It is not permitted for a Muslim woman to travel the distance of a night except that she has a man with her who is prohibited (in marriage) upon her.'" (Sahih)
1723 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ لَيْلَةٍ، إِلَّا وَمَعَهَا رَجُلٌ ذُو حُرْمَةٍ مِنْهَا».

1. It is quite clear from this Hadith that no woman may make a journey, not even for Hajj, without a Mahram escorting her. If a woman cannot find a Mahram to accompany her, she is considered not able to perform Hajj and, therefore, it is not yet obligatory for her. 2. A Mahram is a person whom a woman can never marry like father, grandfather, uncle and nephew (paternal and maternal), son and father-in-law.
