تنبيه-الغيورين-إلى-إجماع-الفقهاء-على-حرمة-سفر-المرأة-من-غير-مَحْرم-في-جميع-الأسفار-عدا-سفر-الحج-والعمرة-الواجبين-فاختلفوا.pdf

﷽

This is a Summarised English translation of the above article [part 1]

Nowadays Muslims have been trialled with people who issue Religious verdicts on TV, newspapers, magazines, etc., without being qualified to do so. Thus, you find their verdicts opposing the Qur'an, authentic Sunnah and the consensus of those who preceded.

One such issue where they have opposed the aforementioned sources is their permittance for women to travel without a mahram for reasons such as visiting, studies, tourism, business, to perform voluntary Hajj or Umrah, etc.

The reason for their permittance returns to the following three matters, altogether or partially:

1⃣. He looks into the books of fiqh which discuss the differences of opinion between the scholars on this topic, assuming that this differing includes all types of travel, not knowing that the scholars only differed concerning obligatory Hajj and Umrah and nothing else (i.e. Is it permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram in order to perform the obligatory Hajj or Umrah? This is where the scholars differed. Aside from this, the scholars are in agreement that women are not allowed to travel without a mahram). Then after looking into the different opinions and the arguments put forth, he may conclude that the stronger opinion is that of allowance, but due to his lack of awareness, he goes on to up generalise this allowance to include all types of travel.

2⃣. He may be aware of the concensus prohibiting women to travel without a mahram (except for the obligatory Hajj and Umrah), but he deliberately opposes it by allowing women to travel without a mahram. He does so submitting himself to people's desires in order to draw acceptance and gain a bigger following. He can fool the people and get his wishes (acceptance and popularity), but can he escape from Allah?!

3⃣. He is part of a political party seeking to win people's votes, so he is ready to tell people whatever they want to hear - even if it means opposing the Islamic sources.

Let us now clarify the issue and make everything clear:

There are two cases with relation to women travelling without a mahram:

THE FIRST CASE:
A woman travels without a Maḥram for purposes other than fulfilling the obligatory Ḥajj or ’Umrah

For example:
Travelling to visit family or friends, for the sake of studies, tourism, in order to perform voluntary Hajj or Umrah, etc.

In this case, a woman is NOT ALLOWED to travel without a mahram by agreement of all the scholars. None of them differed concerning this.

We will mention the references for this concensus in the next post inshallah.

[Part 2]

Here are some referenced quotes from those who transmitted the aforementioned concensus:

1⃣. Al-Baghawi raḥimahullāh said:

“They did not differ concerning impermissibility of women travelling without a husband or a Maḥram for purposes other than the obligatory Ḥajj, and apart from (exceptional circumstances such as) a kafir woman embracing Islam in a non-Muslim land (I.e. She is allowed to migrate to a Muslim land without a mahram) or a female prisoner who escapes her captives. Others added: or a woman who becomes detached from her travelling companions and is found by a trustworthy man; in which case he is allowed to accompany her until he brings her back to her group.”
[This was transmitted and endorsed by Ibn Ḥajar in Fat-ḥ Al-Bārī (4/90)]

2⃣. Al-Qāḍhi ’Iyāḍh raḥimahullāh said:

“They did not differ concerning the fact that she is not allowed to travel without a Maḥram for purposes other than the obligatory Ḥajj.”
[Ikmāl Al-Mu'allim Sharḥ Muslim (4/446)]

▪️This transmission of Al-Qāḍhi ’Iyāḍh was also relayed and endorsed by:
A. An-Nawawi [Sharḥ Muslim (9/112)],
B. ’Alā' Ad-deen ibnul ’Aṭṭār [Al-'Uddah fī Sharḥ Al-’Umdah (2/959)]
C. Ibnul Mulaqqin [Al-I’lām bi fawā'id ’Umdat Al-Aḥkām (6/82)]

3⃣. Al-Qurṭubi raḥimahullāh said:

“They did not differ concerning the fact that she is not allowed to travel for a non-obligatory purpose except with a Maḥram or her husband.”
[Al-Mufhim 3/450]

4⃣. Ibn Ḥajar raḥimahullāh said:

“This (ḥadīth) was used to establish the impermissibility of women travelling without a Maḥram; which is a matter of concensus - except in the case of (obligatory) Hajj and ’Umrah.”
[Fat-ḥ Al-Bārī (2/662)]

5⃣. ’Abdurraḥmān Ibn Qāsim raḥimahullāh said:

“They unanimously agreed concerning the impermissibility of a woman travelling without a Maḥram for purposes other than (obligatory) Ḥajj and ’Umrah, migrating from the lands of disbelief, and any other exceptional circumstances (ḍhurūrah); like the case of a man who finds a non-maḥram woman isolated somewhere in the open and so on, in which case he is allowed to accompany her; rather it is obligatory upon him to do so -without any differing- if he fears for her due to leaving her behind, based on the report of ’Ā'ishah (raḍhiyallāhu ’anhā) concerning the incident of Al-Ifk.”
[Ḥāshiyat Ar-Rawḍh Al-Murbi’ (3/524)]

[part 3]

THE SECOND CASE:
A woman travelling SPECIFICALLY to perform the obligatory Ḥajj

This is the issue over which the scholars have differed into two views:

The first view:
She is allowed to travel without a Maḥram provided there is safety.

Safety may be by travelling with:
A. a group of women
B. a group of trustworthy men
C. a group comprising both men and women

This view was relayed from:
’Aṭā' ibn Abi Rabāḥ, Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, Qatāadah, Zuhri, Al-Ḥakam ibn ’Utaibah, Mālik, Awzā’ee, Ash-Shāfi’ee, Dawūd Adh-Dhāhiree. In fact, Ibn Baṭṭāl ascribed this view to the majority (Jumhūr). This was also the view of ’Ā'ishah raḍhiyallāhu ’anhā and Ibn ’Umar from amongst the Ṣahābah. This was also the view favoured by Sheikhul Islām Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh.

The second view:
Absolute prohibition (except in exceptional circumstances -> ḍhūrūrah)

This view was relayed from:
Ibrāhīm An-Nakh’ee, Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī, Ash-Sha’bī, Tawūs, ’Ikrimah, Abū Ḥanīfah, Sufyān Ath-Tahwrī, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, Is-ḥāq ibn Rāhawayh, Abū Thawr, Ibn Al-Mudhir, etc. Al-Qāḍhi ’Iyāḍh ascribed this view to the majority of Jurists amongst Ahlul-ḥadīth. This was the view of Abū Sa’eed Al-Khudri raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu from the Ṣaḥābah.

▪️Most of the contemporary scholars favoured this view; such as Sheikh ’Uthaymīn, Sheikh Ibn Bāz, Sheikh Albāni, Sheikh Muqbil, Sheikh An-Najmī raḥmatullāh ’alayhim.

And according to the supporting evidences, this view appears to be stronger than the first ‼️

The dangers of residing amongst the disbelievers

Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh wrote:

“...Residing amongst the disbelievers contains [many] harms and dangers, the most significant of which are as follows:

1- Resembling them, as the saying goes:
مَنْ جَالَسَ جَانَسَ
https://t.me/mufradaatun/454

And the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever resembles a people, then he is one of them.”

Likewise, in the two Saheeh (Bukhāri & Muslim) from the hadeeth of Abu Mūsā raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu, the Prophet ﷺ said: “The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like the carrier of misk and the one who blows the bellows…” to the end of the hadeeth.

It has occurred from some of those who sit with the disbelievers that they have taken them as intimate friends, meanwhile our Lord says (translated meaning): “You will not find a people who believe in Allāh and the Last day making friendship with those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their tribe...(to the end of the Āyah)” [Al-Mujaadilah: 22]

2- Residing amongst the disbelievers weakens the ghayrah (protective jealousy) within many people towards the true Deen of Allāh; that is because evil is so manifest that it seems normal to him.

3- The disbelievers control the Muslims and force them to refer to their laws of disbelief for judgement; this is seeking judgement from Tāghūt (i.e. Man-made laws).

4- The disbelievers believe they have done the Muslims a favour by giving them refuge and extending a helping hand to those who are unable to earn a living, meanwhile the Prophet ﷺ said: “The upper hand (the one that gives) is better than the lower hand (the one that takes).”

Even though they capitalise (financially) from this thorough other means, like taxes and the like, and they gain certain things, such as (1) degrading the Muslim and (2) feeling a sense of might and having done him a favour.

5- Increasing the masses of the disbelievers, although increasing the masses of the people of falsehood is prohibited. That is why the Muslims
would make hijrah to Madeenah in order to increase the masses of the Muslims and support them.

6- The disbelievers taking advantage of the Muslims by employing them in jobs that are not legislated, gradually stripping then of their religion and wasting their children. Many Muslim children in the west who have separated from their native lands have become Christians and have fallen into the most repulsive of abominations as we have pointed out in our aforementioned treatise (i.e. What I witnessed in Britain).

7- Taking away their Arabic language and their Islamic traits such that the easiest of Islamic sciences becomes difficult for them; because they educate him using a different language; since they are the ones who assign the curriculum.

8- Some of the Muslims have died in the lands of the disbelievers and left behind infants who open their eyes amongst the disbelievers so they too become disbelievers as we have mentioned in the aforementioned treatise, meanwhile Allāh says (translated meaning): “O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is people and stones.” [At-Tahreem: 6]

And the Prophet ﷺ says: “Each one of you is a shepherd and each one of you is responsible for his
flock.”

And he ﷺ said: “There is not a slave who Allāh makes responsible for a flock then he dies while being insincere towards his flock except that he does not enter paradise…” to the end of the hadeeth.

9- Oppression of the Muslims especially when wars occur between the Muslims and the disbelievers or when something that does not please them occurs from some Muslims. You see the disbelievers oppressing the Muslims and rejoicing over their mishaps and violating their honor. And they send forward the Muslims to fight their Muslim brothers in other lands, as they did in the Iraq war and others. So if something harmful occurs it affects the Muslims within themselves while the disbelievers give the orders.”

10- The Muslim is affected by material wealth and he becomes very excited about the Dunya and its temptations, which in turn leads him to become heedless of the hereafter - except for he who Allāh has mercy on.

Allāh عز وجل says (translated meaning): “Say: the enjoyment of this life is little and the hereafter is better for he who fears Allāh. And you will not be dealt with unjustly at all (not even the equivalent of a small thread of the date pit.)” [An-Nisaa: 77]

And He says (translated meaning):
“What is with you will perish and what is with Allāh remains.” [An-Nahl: 96]

And this act of being influenced is a result of intermingling with such people, concerning whom Allāh has said (translated meaning):
“And surely you will find them the greediest of people for life…” [Al-Baqarah: 96]

And He said about them (translated meaning): “Their hands are shackled (they are stingy) and they are cursed for what they say…” [Al-Maa'idah: 64]

He also said about them (translated meaning): “They know what is apparent of the life of this world while they are heedless of the Hereafter.” [Ar-Room: 7]

11- A person's state hinges between life and death, and if he dies amongst the disbelievers he leaves himself in a dangerous situation as several hadeeths indicate; like the hadeeth where the Prophet ﷺ said:

“I am free from he who resides amongst the disbelievers.”

It has supporting narrations with similar meaning.

...We ask Allaah تعالى to rectify the Muslims' affairs and to give them an understanding of their true religion, for verily the Muslim when he understands Allaah's religion he magnifies that which Allaah magnifies and he despises that which Allaah despises, but when he is ignorant of Allaah's religion the reality becomes confusing to him in accordance to his level of ignorance. And Allaah is the one whose help is sought.”

In the Name of Allāh, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful.

Allāh Almighty said:

{فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهۡرَ فَلۡیَصُمۡهُ}

“Whoever of you is present that month (i.e. Ramaḍhān), must observe fast!”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 185]

This Āyah contains two commands; one explicit and the other implicit:

Explicitly, Allah is commanding us to fast the month of Ramaḍhān, and implicitly, He is commanding us to learn the requirements of fasting this month so that our fast is valid.

This implicit command exists whenever Allāh & His Messenger command us with any matter; that is because 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! So you have to know what لا إله إلا الله means before testifying to it, you have to know how to pray before you can begin praying...Likewise, how are you going to fulfil the obligation of fasting if you don't know what it entails?

For this reason, we are pleased to present:
