Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You have informed us, may Allah preserve you, that it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. He says: If I traveled with her, but when it was time for her to return, I was unable to travel with her and left her to return alone, knowing that the flight is about six hours, is that permissible?

Answer:
No, neither going nor returning. She must have a mahram with her both going and returning. The return and the going back are travel to which the hadith
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travelلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الاخر ان تسافر
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
applies, whether going or returning. Rely on Allah, and you should take her back yourself; do not let one of her mahrams take her back. Yes.
