Traveling Alone at Night

SUMMARY: It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to travel alone at night.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: It is not lawful for a Muslim woman to travel a night's journey except when there is a Mahram with her.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ لَيْلَةٍ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا رَجُلٌ ذُو حُرْمَةٍ مِنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Abu Huraira states that it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to travel alone at night. This teaching emphasizes the importance of safety and protection for women, as travelling alone can be dangerous. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was very protective of women and wanted them to be safe in all situations, especially when travelling. He also wanted them to have companionship during their travels so they would not feel lonely or vulnerable. This hadith serves as an important reminder that we should always prioritize the safety and well-being of our female family members and friends when they are travelling, especially during the night time hours.
