Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from outside this country who says: A young woman wants to come to Saudi Arabia with her mother to get married here, and her father is unable to travel with her due to his financial inability. Is it permissible for her to travel with her mother alone?
Answer:
No, a mahram is required. A mahram is required to come with them, or they do not come without a mahram. This is only permissible in the case of hijrah, if the hijrah depends on the woman traveling alone to preserve her religion. It is permissible for her in this specific case of hijrah, but not in any other travel. No. Yes.
