The ruling on a man traveling with a woman who is not one of his mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a man to travel with a woman who is not one of his mahram? And if he is questioned about it, he says: "I am confident in myself"?
Answer:
He is not allowed to do that. It is not permissible for a man to travel with a woman who is not his mahram, even if he says that he is confident, and even if he were one of the Companions. It is not permissible for him to travel with a woman alone. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9:2565. A person does not feel safe regarding himself, nor does he trust himself, nor does he feel secure about her. [Yusuf:53].
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and adhering to his guidance. Therefore, it is not permissible for a believer to contradict that. He, the Exalted, says: [al-Hashr:7], and He, the Exalted, says: [al-Nur:63]. So he is not allowed to travel with a woman who has no mahram. Rather, he must leave that off and beware of it. He is accused of wrongdoing by this, and she is also accused of wrongdoing. So it is not permissible. Yes.

A woman should not travel except with a mahram
لا تسافر امرأة إلا مع ذي محرمIndeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy
إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّيAllah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded following the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and adhering to his guidance. Therefore, it is not permissible for a believer to contradict that. He, the Exalted, says:
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُواSo let those beware who dissent from the Prophet's order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.
فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
