The ruling on forcing a mature daughter to live or travel with one of her mahrams

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If one of the guardians, such as a paternal uncle, wants to travel with a mature female who is unmarried and currently residing with her mahrams from among her relatives, and she refuses, is she to be forced to do so?

Answer: If the daughter is mature, she is permitted to remain with whichever of her mahrams she chooses, and she is not obligated to travel with the paternal uncle or any other mahram in this situation except by her own choice; because she is an adult and mature, the matter is left to her in this regard. This is clear in the words of many jurists (may Allah have mercy on them). The disagreement is only regarding the one who is not mature. And Allah knows best.
