A woman traveling to treat her sick mother without a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This woman says: My mother is sick and she is more than eighty kilometers from my home. Is it permissible for me to travel to her to treat her and sit by her side without a mahram?
Answer:
It is obligatory to have a mahram for the distance of shortening the prayer. One of your mahrams should go with you and take you to her, and you sit with her. May Allah reward you with good. The important thing is that you do not go except with a mahram.
