Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can an old woman travel without a mahram?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generally, it is impermissible for a woman to travel the distance of three days (equivalent to 48 miles) without her husband or a Mahram (unmarriageable kin) accompanying her.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are many clear narrations of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) in this regard.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Sayyiduna Abu Sa\u2019id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: \u201cLet no woman travel for more than three days unless her husband or a Mahram is with her.\u201d (Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: \u201cA woman must not travel for three days except with a Mahram.\u201d (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 1036 & Sahih Muslim)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on these narrations the Hanafi jurists have concluded that it is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram for any travel further than approximately 48 miles.<\/span><\/p>\n
