Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The woman asks, “I am a woman who travels by plane frequently, and most of the passengers are women. Is it permissible for me to travel without a mahram (a relative one may not marry)?”
Answer:
It is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 This is in many authentic hadiths. Whether with women or with women, it is not permissible. No, women are not a mahram for him, neither in the Shari'ah nor in language; they are not called a mahram. The Messenger said, “Not without a mahram.” Women are not a mahram. Yes.
