The document discusses the concept of a Mehram, who is a male companion required to accompany women for the pilgrimage of Umrah. A Mehram is a male relative, such as a father, brother, or husband, who is forbidden from marriage to the woman. Women are prohibited from traveling for Umrah alone according to Islamic law, for their protection and safety. The purpose of requiring a Mehram is to shield women from harm or inappropriate attention during the spiritual journey.
