Sheikh Rabee' almadkhali is not a faqeeh, and little he knows about hanbali Fiqh. Sheikh alalbani never recommended anyone to take fiqh from rabee', and even if he had, Sheikh alalbani himself was neither a hanbali nor a faqeeh, and his recommendation has no value in something outside his expertise.
Volumes can be written (and some have been) on counting their mistakes in Fiqh that they've committed which contradicted the salaf and all the ummah.
"Stick to the salaf", is not a hollow slogan that can only be fulfilled by following rabee' and his club. It means to follow Imam Ahmed and Ash-shafi'i, and alAwza'i and ath-Thawree. The salafis are not those who make kids disrespect the salaf, and train the little youth who barely got a couple of chin hairs growing to oppose the Imam Malik, say tirmithi is weak and Abu hanifa is deviant.
When you read the books of the salaf and study under scholars who follow their path, not some self-claimed faqeeh without a sanad or ijaza in a single book of Fiqh, you'll see how little the knowledge and understand of Fiqh, Usool, Arabic, Tafsir and even Aqeedah those contemporary Salafis really have.
Yes, and Sheikh rabee is not an Imam, and is not a 'allama, nor fahhama, nor the greatest scholar on earth, whether in Hadeeth or anything else.
Don't call people to someone because you think they're awesome or because you blindly trusted others who told you so.
Islam isn't a cult or a sorority, and we don't give ranks like candy. If you don't know the weakness of rabee in Fiqh, or alalbani in Usool, you can't be blamed for thinking they're the most knowledgeable in everything.

The vast majority of scholars, and the mainstream opinion of all four mathaahib is that it's not permissible for a woman to travel without a male guardian - unless for emergency. Some scholars like alqadhi iyadh and albaghawi even narrated it is a consensus. This is what I would give a fatwa for and this is what the asker is doing, so there's no problem with that.
As for others, there are two questions that result from seeing others doing something you consider to be wrong.
1. Should I advise them?
2. Should I unfriend/boycott them?
As for the first, you should always advise others, even if it's about encouraging them to do a Sunnah or discourage them from a makruh, as long as you're not harsh, and as long as you're not driving them to fall in something worse.
As for judging them to be doing something impermissible, it has to be established first that the matter is unanimously impermissible before you judge them or take action against them.
The consensus isn't established, because before alqadhi and albaghawi there were major scholars who have disputed.
If it's a safe trip - source, destination and path - then a woman may travel with other women, without a mahram to any destination for a permissible purpose, not just Hajj, according to one opinion in shafi'i mathhab as narrated by alghazali and almawardi, and the opinion of Alhassan and alawzaai and Abu Dawood, and one narration in hanbali mathhab, and it was the later choice of Sheikh ul Islam ibn Taymiyyah. While this is an erroneous fatwa, any of these scholars are qualified to be followed, and hence there would be no room for judging others or questioning their righteousness.
Lastly, if they don't know about the fatwa of those scholars - meaning they only know the opinion it's prohibited, and are doing it knowing they're sinful, what should you do? You could advise them and remind them gently, but according to our scholars, it is permissible to lead them to that opinion of those scholars even if you believe in its weakness. They are traveling anyway, it is better to let them travel without committing a sin. The Muslim scholars have always put in consideration the practicality of the fatawa to the laity.
And God knows best.
