Sahih Muslim 827e (Book 15, Hadith 466) #10401
Traveling Without a Husband or Mahram

SUMMARY: A woman should not travel for more than two days without her husband or a Mahram.

Qaza'ah reported: I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) saying: I heard four things from Allah's Messenger which impressed me and captivated me (and one out of these is this), that he forbade a woman to undertake journey extending over two days but with her husband, or with a Mahram; and he then narrated the rest of the hadith.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ، عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَزَعَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَرْبَعًا فَأَعْجَبْنَنِي وَآنَقْنَنِي نَهَى أَنْ تُسَافِرَ الْمَرْأَةُ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا أَوْ ذُو مَحْرَمٍ ‏.‏ وَاقْتَصَّ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding female travel

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of women traveling with either their husbands or a close relative known as a mahram. According to this hadith, it is not permissible for women to travel alone for more than two days. This is because it can be dangerous and difficult for them to do so without the protection of their husbands or mahrams. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was very concerned about the safety and well-being of women and wanted them to have someone who could look out for them while they were away from home. He also wanted men to take responsibility for protecting their wives when they traveled together. This hadith teaches us that we should always prioritize the safety and security of our loved ones when we are away from home, especially if they are female family members.
