Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the response to the one who says that the reason for preventing a woman from traveling without a mahram is safety? If safety is present, then there is no harm in a woman traveling without a mahram by plane or car with a safe group. What is the response to this claim? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Yes, but when does safety come? A woman is always in fear. She is in fear of the wicked, she is in fear of illness and other things that may befall her. She needs a mahram to take care of her. Safety does not exist. There is no guarantee that she will not fall ill, and no guarantee that she will not be exposed to one of the wicked or the greedy. So safety does not exist. And does he say that safety exists? He does not know, or he is being deceptive. Yes.
