Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question from a woman from outside this country. She says: I am residing in this blessed land with my husband, and I want to travel to my home country by airplane alone because my father is in a critical health condition and I want to see him. My husband is unable to travel with me due to his circumstances. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to travel alone?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry). This is general for airplanes, cars, mounts, and walking on foot. Yes.
