Muslim

Hadith Commentary:
A mahram is one with whom marriage is forbidden for a woman; if there is none among them, then it is not permissible for a woman to travel.
Here, the restriction of three days means that this duration has been referred to by the word (travel), and a journey of one day and night is also called travel. There is general agreement that this is approximately forty-eight miles, as has been mentioned previously.

Hadith Commentary:
There is much disagreement regarding the distance at which it becomes permissible to shorten the prayer (qasar) during travel. According to the Ahl al-Zahir, no specific distance for travel is stipulated. In their view, it is permissible to shorten the prayer in any kind of journey, whether short or long. According to the scholars of Kufa, one should perform the shortened prayer (qasar) when traveling a distance of three days and three nights. However, in the forthcoming hadith of Abu Hurairah, it is mentioned that it is not permissible for a believing woman to travel the distance of one day and one night without a mahram. The difference in the narrations is due to the difference in the questions asked; the numerical value (of the distance) in these narrations is not to be considered as definitive. In one narration, there is also a detailed mention of those mahram relationships, stating that no woman should travel a distance of three days and three nights without her father, brother, husband, son, or any other mahram, as is found in Sahih Muslim. (Fath al-Bari: 2/733, and Sahih Muslim, al-Hajj, Hadith: 3270(1340))

It should be noted that the aforementioned narration was not stated to specify the distance for travel, but rather it was mentioned for the purpose that no woman should travel such a distance alone. Furthermore, this prohibition is related to time; that is, if a woman covers a distance of one hour within a day, then the prohibition will apply. However, if a traveler covers half a day's distance in two days, then he is not permitted to shorten the prayer (qasar). From this, it is understood that one ruling cannot be analogized with another.

1727. Commentary: The mention of a specific time or distance in the aforementioned hadiths is an incidental statement, which was conveyed to different questioners at different times. And the meaning of all of them is clear: it is forbidden (haram) for a Muslim, pious woman to travel without the company of her mahram. No matter what the circumstances and conditions of the present age may be, the law of the Shariah is unalterable. It is obligatory upon a Muslim to make himself/herself adhere to this Shariah, and not to try to change the Shariah through excuses and pretexts. And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
