A woman traveling with a woman without a mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is a woman considered a mahram for a non-mahram woman in travel and the like? Or is she not?
A: A woman is not a mahram for another woman. The mahram is the man for whom the woman is forbidden by kinship, such as her father or her brother, or by a lawful bond, such as her husband, her husband's father, her husband's son, or a father or brother through breastfeeding, and the like.
It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a non-mahram woman, nor to travel with her, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1862 It is agreed upon that it is authentic. And due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Musnad Ahmad 177Sahih (Darussalam) Narrated by Imam Ahmad and others, from the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) with a sound chain. And success is from Allah.

A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahram
لا تسافر المرأة إلا مع ذي محرمNo man should be alone with a woman because the Shaitan will be the third one present.
لا يخلون رجل بامرأة فإن ثالثهما الشيطان
