Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In another question, she says: If there is no money for me and my husband to travel to my country, is it permissible for me to travel alone with my children? Knowing that my travel is necessary.

Answer:
If any of her children is of the age of maturity and is sane, then he is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) for her. But if all her children are minors below the age of maturity, they are not considered mahrams, and she has to travel with a mahram, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travelلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
except with a mahram, even if she is in need of traveling, the presence of a mahram who travels with her is required. Yes.
