If I converted to Islam would I be able to go to Mecca?

My understanding is that a woman needs the permission of a male relative to go to Mecca. I have no brothers or sons, no husband, my father, grandfathers and uncles are all dead. As far as I know I have no living male relatives. Would I be able to go or not?

    yes you can come to Mecca, but in an organized hajj travel group.. You cannot come on your own unless a male relative accompanies you. But many mosques organize group packages whereas you can go in chaperoned groups.. This is best anyways as its less overwhelming than coming alone and not knowing what to do..

    welcome to Islam sis, and I hope Allah willing you can come soon ^_^

    Under the Arab Saudi's Law of Governance, non-muslims are not permitted to enter Makkah in accordance to the Sura 9:28 from the Quran.

    And please don't even think of using any fake documentations, ok. The punishment is quite severe!

    If you are already a convert, then you may do so.

    this is possible by travelling with a group with authorized team leader, it has a procedure check with your local masjid/mosque. Update your papers and documents as Muslim, like passport and an approved affidavit of being a Muslim.

    Yes, sister.

    Im sure if you explain to them like that you will be able to. Also your mosque should be able to help you with that inshallah.

    And Allah knows best.

    Islam. Real winner.

    Here is what we're talking about:

    There is no way we could claim that the following verses from the Muslim Quran can be "misinterpreted" or "taken out of context" [and keep in mind these are just a small sample of what is there]:

    “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Hadith Al Buhkari vol. 9:57)

    In Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6985:

    “Judgment Day will come only when the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jew hides behind the tree and the stone, and the tree and the stone say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’ – except for the Gharqad tree, which is a Jewish tree.”

    Sura 5:51: “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them for friendship is of them.” This friendship makes any Muslim an enemy of their own and deserving of the same fate as the unbeliever. This is because Allah does not guide an unjust people."

    Sura72:15 “The disbelievers are the firewood of hell.”

    Quran: [Surah 4:56] "Surely, those who disbelieve in our revelations, we will condemn them to the hellfire. Whenever their skins are burnt, we will give them new skins. Thus, they will suffer continuously. Allah akbar."

    Jews are the greediest of all humankind. They'd like to live 1000 years. But they are going to hell. Quran Quran 2:96

    -When the doom of Allah comes, pregnant women will suffer miscarriages, and men will act like they are drunk. Quran 22:1-2

    -For the wrongdoing Jews, Allah has prepared a painful doom. Quran 4:160-1

    -Allah will punish the disbelieving Jews until the Day of Resurrection. 7:167

    -Cut off the hands of thieves. It is an exemplary punishment from Allah. Quran 5:38

    And finally...

    -Those who deny the truth of Islam will be punished by Allah. Quran 6:5

    [This means that anyone who doubts any of the above statements, such as judgement day not coming until Muslims kill all the Jews, will, if they are a believing Muslim, be "punished"]

    And go look up the Muslim practice of "Taqiyya." You'll think twice about trusting any Muslim when he defends his Quran and Muslim "values."

    And if Allah forbid, you are a woman, you should know what you face:

    Islam completely destroys and degrades women, which creates a backwards society. If Muslims cannot respect and value their own women how can we expect them to value anyone else?

    More quotes from the Muslim Quran:

    -A woman is worth one-half a man. Quran 2:282

    -You can't have sex with married women, unless they are slaves obtained in war (with whom you may rape or do whatever you like). 4:24

    -Women are feeble and are unable to devise a plan. 4:98

    -A man cannot treat his wives fairly. 4:129

    -Your wives and children are your enemies. They are to you only a temptation. 64:14-15

    -You don't have to be chaste [decent or sexually moral] around your wives or your slave girls. 70:29-30

    -Those who "did wrong" will go to hell, and their wives will go to hell with them (no matter how they behaved). 37:22-23

    -"All married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess."

    -Men are in charge of women, because Allah made men to be better than women. Refuse to have sex with women from whom you fear rebellion, and scourge them. 4:34

    -Women have rights that are similar to men, but men are "a degree above them." 2:228

    -"Marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four." 4:3

    -Males are to inherit twice that of females. 4:1

    -Lewd women are to be confined to their houses until death. 4:15

    -[Quran gives] Instructions for exchanging wives 4:20

    -"Unto the male is the equivalent share of two females." 4:176

    -You don't have to be modest around your wives or your slave girls "that your right hand possess." 23:6

    -If Muhammad's wives are good, Allah will give them "an immense reward." 33:28-29

    -The wives of Muhammad are not like other women. They must not leave their houses. 33:32-33

    -Allah says it is lawful for Muhammad to marry any women he wants. 33:50-51

    -Those who disbelieve in the afterlife give female names to angels. 53:27

    -Muhammad's wives need to be careful. If they criticize their husband, Allah will replace them with better ones. 66:5

    And the number one winner...

    Allah's rules for divorcing wives that have not yet reached puberty. 65:4
