The ruling on a woman travelling without a maḥram
❓Question: Can a woman travel without a maḥram? What is the ruling of such (i.e., travelling without a maḥram) in the Islāmic sharī'ah? In the present time, Muslim women often undertake long journeys without a maḥram for religious events, or sometimes a single woman accompanies her maḥram in the travel while the rest of the women travel together (with this woman) – is this practice correct? Some women say that a woman can travel for a day and a night without a maḥram. Please clarify this issue based on the Qurān and the sunnah.
