The Ruling on a Woman Traveling Without a Mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I have a wife and three daughters who come from Egypt every year to stay with me by land, even though I work here in Riyadh. They come with a group of people without a mahram (a relative one may not marry). Is this permissible?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
to travel except with a mahramأن تسافر إلا ومعها ذو محرم
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:1049
. Therefore, this action is not permissible, and it is a disobedience to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), a disobedience to Allah. So it is a sin. Yes.
