Question:
If a woman travels a distance less than the distance for shortening the prayer, such as going to the market within the city, is it necessary for her to have a mahram accompanying her, given that she is in a disbeliever’s state?
Answer:
This depends on the circumstances. If there is danger to her, she needs a mahram. However, if there is no danger to her, the country is safe, and she is not traveling, she does not need a mahram. Yes.
