The Ruling on a Woman Traveling with a Group of Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
But if she travels with a group of women, and the route is generally safe, and there are people with them who take care of their affairs?

Answer:
Who said the route is safe? The route is subject to what befalls it: traffic accidents, and perhaps the car breaks down, or perhaps the plane heads to a country other than the one we intended to go to due to an unforeseen circumstance, and various incidents occur during travel. Also, the general wording of the hadith: the hadith says, "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day
to travel except with a mahramأن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرم
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049
," and this is general. General. The woman who went out for Hajj in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) undoubtedly went out with the pilgrims; she did not travel alone, and yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her husband back to perform Hajj with her. Yes.
