Is it permissible for a woman to travel to another city without a mahram?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She has another question in which she asks: Is it permissible to travel to visit my sister in another city and stay with her for a week, for example, or longer, without a mahram? What is the ruling on that? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Traveling without a mahram is not permissible, whether to visit your sister, your father, or anyone else. A mahram is required if the distance constitutes travel, such as eighty kilometers, or approximately that, or more than that. This is considered travel, a day and a night for a mount, and is considered travel by custom. Therefore, you may not travel except with a mahram, neither to visit your sister nor for any other reason, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2565 Narrated by the two Shaykhs: al-Bukhari and Muslim in the two Sahihs. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
