A Woman's Journey with a Group of Women

Question
A woman over the age of fifty wishes to go perform Umrah with a group of trustworthy women. What is the ruling on that?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a male guardian, nor is it allowed for her to travel with a group of women; as she needs someone to protect her, take care of her, and assist her with the hardships of travel. And God knows best.
