The Ruling on a Woman Traveling Alone, Even If It Is Less Than a Day and a Night

Question:
I would like to ask you about the hadith: If she can arrive in less than two days on a safe route, is that permissible or not?

Answer:
The hadiths vary on this matter; some mention two days, some a day and a night, some a day, some a night, some three days, and some are general. This is because he (peace and blessings be upon him) answered them according to their questions. In the comprehensive hadith, what the two Shaykhs narrated in the two Sahihs from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: . Then a man said: O Messenger of Allah, my wife has gone out for a need, and I have signed up for such and such an expedition. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: .
The comprehensive hadith states that a woman should not travel except with a mahram, whether it is a day, a night, two days, three days, more, or less; because she is an awrah and a fitnah, and if there is no mahram with her to protect her and watch over her from the great danger that is upon her.
So the comprehensive ruling is regarding travel, and what is considered travel is what is prohibited. It may be one day, it may be two days, it may be three days, and it may be more than that.
There is no difference between the airplane, the train, the car, and the camel, for the One who informed about this knows, Glorified and Exalted is He, what is in the heavens and the earth, and what will be in the end of times. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only informs about the legislation of that; because of His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He: INDEED, IT IS NOT EXCEPT A REVELATION THAT IS REVEALED [Al-Najm: 3-4]. So he knows the law of Allah and informs about the law of Allah in the present and the future. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows what will be in the end of times in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries regarding airplanes, cars, trains, large fast ships, and others. So His ruling is one for His servants, and He did not say, "Except if it is in the end of times and fast vehicles come, then there is no harm." He made the ruling one.
