A wife traveling to her husband without a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am residing in these blessed lands, and I have a wife in my home country. I want to arrange for her to visit me here, but she has no mahram with her other than me, and my circumstances do not allow me to travel to bring her. His question is: Is it permissible for her to come alone, or to travel with a family?
Answer:
No, a mahram is required. It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel unless she has a mahram with her. Suppose she falls ill; who will take care of her? If she falls ill during the journey, who will take care of her? Suppose the plane is diverted from its course to another direction due to an obstacle that arises; who will receive her? She must have a mahram with her.
