A woman’s travel between cities without a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 14564 )
Q: I have a sister who is thirty years old. My uncle has taken legal guardianship over her, and then he allowed her to travel alone without a mahram to the city of Riyadh , and then he ordered her to stay with her sister’s husband, who is not a mahram to her in the Shari'ah. Is this permissible from the Shari'ah perspective, given that I am her living brother? I ask you to issue a fatwa on this matter. May you remain in good health.
A: It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram, nor is it permissible for her to be in seclusion with someone who is not among her mahrams. She should reside with her legal mahram, where she is safe for herself. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
