Hadith 2713
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا تُسَافِرِ الْمَرْأَةُ سَفَرًا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَصَاعِدًا إِلَّا وَمَعَهَا أَبُوهَا، أَوْ أَخُوهَا، أَوْ زَوْجُهَا، أَوْ ذُو مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهُمَا".
Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A woman should not travel for three days or more except with her father, brother, husband, or a close relative (mahram).”
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2712)
It is prohibited for a woman to undertake any journey without a mahram, even if this journey is for Hajj.
The mention of one, two, or three days’ journey is according to the question of the inquirer, and it is not a condition that a woman may travel for a distance less than this; rather, it is absolutely impermissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. The meaning of mahram is her real brother or father, etc., with whom marriage is not permissible, or her husband is with her.
