Female teachers riding a bus for a short distance without a mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: A group of female teachers ride a bus to go to school, and this school is more than the distance of qasr away. Is there a sin upon them for that?

The Shaykh:
Are you in the town or outside the town?

The questioner:
Outside the town.

The Shaykh:
Outside the town, more than the distance of qasr, it is not permissible for them to travel with him except with a mahram. Each one must have a mahram who accompanies her, and it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram.
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 accompanying her. And in a car or in an airplane or otherwise, it is more severe. Yes.
