Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the minimum travel distance required for a woman to have a mahram?

Answer:
The minimum distance, as stated in the hadith, is a two-day journey for a mount. A two-day journey for a mount, and walking on foot. Today, a car covers a two-day journey in eighty kilometers. Eighty kilometers means forty kilometers each day. Forty kilometers for a mount. For a mount. As for the car, it covers it quickly. So if the travel is eighty kilometers or more, then a mahram is required for the woman. Because it is travel. As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allahلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله.
Sahih Muslim 1339b
and the Hereafter to travel a two-day journey except with a mahram.واليوم الآخر أن تسافر مسيرة يومين إلا ومعها ذو محرم.
