Chapter 165: About the Forbiddance of a Woman traveling without a Mahram Male

Translation: The Messenger of Allah said as:

511. Narrated by Abu-Sa'eedo Al-Khudri: " The Messenger of Allah said: “ It is prohibited for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel for three days or more except that her father, her brother, her husband, her son, or one of her Mahrams is with her. "

Abu-Issa said: " This Hadith is Hasan Saheeh and it was narrated that the Prophet said: ' Let not a woman to travel for a day and a night except with one of her Mahrams. " The people of knowledge dislike that a woman travels without one of her Mahrams. "

They differed about a wealthy woman who has no Mahram and whether she is required to perform Al Hajj Some of them said: " She is not required to perform Al Hajj, for Allah stipulates the ability of the Muslim for this deed. He says:

" Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah (Mecca), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-Alameen (mankind and jinn). * In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham); whosoever enters it attains security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) to the House (Al Ka'aba) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, on those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision, residence, secure ways, riding animal... etc.); and whoever disbelieves (i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca), then he is a disbeliever in Allah), then Allah stands not in need of any of the Alameen. (mankind, jinn and all that exists). * " (3: 96-97)

Since she has no Mahram to accompany her, she is not required to perform Al Hajj for the lack of one of its stipulations, i.e. Al Mahram 19. This is the opinion of Sofyan Al-Thawri and the people of Kufa. Other people said that she 16 In such a case, she is required to deputize a Muslim who has already performed Al Hajj to perform it on her behalf, and to pay for him all the expenses. (trans.)

can go for Al Hajj, as long as the way is safe, and this is the opinion of Malik and Al-Shafe'e. (At-Termizi)
