Question:
There is an American woman residing in the Emirates with her husband, and her father-in-law has fallen ill in her home country, the United States. Her mother has requested her presence, but her husband is unable to travel with her. Is she permitted to travel without a mahram in this situation?
Answer:
No. If she travels, if she travels, she intends to remove the illness from the woman, to lift the illness from the woman, she commits a forbidden act, which is traveling without a mahram, and she is not one who removes the illness from her if she travels. So she must not travel except with a mahram, and she must not remain while the woman is left to the mercy of Allah. Yes.
