A woman traveling without a mahram to visit her mother in a land of disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says — or rather, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for her to travel without a mahram to visit her mother who resides in a land of disbelief, given that her mother has no one there?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to travel without a mahram; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travelلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
except with a mahram. Yes.
