11. Rituals (Ḥajj and ʿUmrah)
١١۔ كتاب المناسك
The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) as saying : A muslim woman must not make a journey of a night unless she is accompanied by a man who is within the prohibited degrees.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ لَيْلَةٍ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا رَجُلٌ ذُو حُرْمَةٍ مِنْهَا
A woman who believes in Allah and the last Day must not make a journey of a day and a night. He then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect (as above). The narrator al-Nufaili said : Malik narrated us. Abu Dawud said : The narrators al-Nufail and al_Qa’nabi did not mention the words “from his father”. Ibn Wahb and ‘Uthman bin ‘Umr narrated from Malik the same words as narrated by al-Qa’nabi (i.e. omitted the words “from his father”).
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ أَنْ تُسَافِرَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ
He then reported the same tradition as mentioned above but he mentioned (in this version) the word “mail post”.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَرِيدًا
A woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day must not make a journey of more than three days unless she is accompanied by her father or her brother, or her husband or her son or her relative who is within the prohibited degree.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ أَنْ تُسَافِرَ سَفَرًا فَوْقَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَصَاعِدًا إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا أَبُوهَا أَوْ أَخُوهَا أَوْ زَوْجُهَا أَوِ ابْنُهَا أَوْ ذُو مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهَا
A woman must not make a journey of three days unless she is accompanied by a man who is within the prohibited degree.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُسَافِرُ الْمَرْأَةُ ثَلاَثًا إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا ذُو مَحْرَمٍ
Ibn ʿUmr used to seat his slave girl called Safiyyah behind him(on the Camel) and thus she travelled to Makkah in his company.
يُقَالُ لَهَا صَفِيَّةُ تُسَافِرُ مَعَهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ
