The questioner:
Is it permissible for a woman to travel with her children by plane for a duration of three hours? With her children. With her children, her sons, she travels with her sons.
The Shaykh:
Her sons are adult males, there is no objection; it becomes a mahram (a relative one may not marry). An adult son is a mahram. If there is among them one who is adult and of sound mind, he is a mahram for her. But if they are young, below the age of puberty, they are not suitable; they do not serve as mahrams for her.
