A woman traveling by airplane without a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to travel by airplane alone, especially since there is no seclusion in the airplane, but rather there are many people in it?
Answer:
My brother, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except with a mahram. He did not specify whether on camels, on donkeys, on airplanes, or on this. This hadith is general. A woman does not travel without a mahram, whether on an airplane or on a ship.
Or on something faster than that. This is a general hadith. Now, if she travels in the airplane alone and she becomes ill, who will take care of her? Who will carry her and look after her? She must have a wali with her to protect her, take care of her, and carry her. This is one point. Second, if the wicked people expose her, who will defend her?
She must have a mahram with her to protect her and defend her. Third, if the airplane changes its course to another airport for one reason or another, as she said, who will receive her at the second airport? Where will she go at the second airport, which the airplane did not intend to reach but was forced to divert to? Who will take care of her? Who will take her there? Who will provide her with shelter? Glory be to Allah! Yes.

Answer:
My brother, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel
لا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافرOr on something faster than that. This is a general hadith. Now, if she travels in the airplane alone and she becomes ill, who will take care of her? Who will carry her and look after her? She must have a wali with her to protect her, take care of her, and carry her. This is one point. Second, if the wicked people expose her, who will defend her?
