The maid’s travel with her sponsor and his family

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a maid traveling and moving between cities with her sponsor and his family, without seclusion?

Answer:
The established principle is that a woman, whether a maid or otherwise, does not travel except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry). It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel except with a mahram. However, if the maid is with the family, it is less severe; it is less severe, though it is not permissible, but it is less severe than if she traveled with her sponsor without the family being present. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
