Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man leaves his wife to travel to her family by plane without a mahram, and the flight is only one hour long, because he is unable to accompany her. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is not permissible,Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except if a mahram is with her. A plane is subject to what happens to it; its direction may change and it may go to another airport, and this happens often. If something befalls her, her mahram must be with her. Yes.
