Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a resident of the Kingdom, and my wife is in another country. She is going to travel from her country to here, as the place of my residence, from which she will travel, does not have a mahram for her there. I am unable to go and bring her because of fear for my safety there. Is it permissible to travel without a mahram for this purpose?
Answer:
No, her relative must accompany her, or else try to go and bring her. As for her coming without a mahram, no. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 15:67 and with her a mahram.
