A Woman of Advanced Age Traveling by Airplane Without a Mahram

Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a woman who is seventy-three years old to travel from Morocco to Al-Khalil without a mahram (a relative one may not marry), alone on an airplane?

Answer:
She must not travel a distance of eighty kilometers; she must not travel a distance of eighty kilometers unless she is accompanied by a mahram. This is based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) two days, unless she is accompanied by a mahram. Two days means for a camel, walking on foot. They estimated this distance to be eighty kilometers, forty kilometers each day, forty kilometers each day, totaling eighty kilometers. This is the distance at which a woman requires a mahram. Yes, whether by airplane or by any other means. He forbade a woman from traveling alone and generalized this ruling, without specifying traveling on a camel or on foot. He did not limit every journey that reaches the distance of two days for a mount to requiring a mahram.
