Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. In his second question, he asks about a woman residing in Europe who inquires about emigrating from a land of disbelief to a land of Muslims without a mahram. Is this permissible for her?
Answer:
Yes, this is an exception to the requirement of a mahram for a woman; it is permissible for her to travel for the sake of emigration without a mahram, just as the female Companions emigrated from Makkah in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without a mahram, because this is a matter of dire necessity and there is evidence for it. In all other cases, a mahram is required.
