Sahih Muslim 1339b (Book 15, Hadith 471) #10406
Traveling with a Mahram

SUMMARY: Women should not travel alone, but must be accompanied by a Mahram.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Hereafter to undertake a day's journey except in the company of a Mahram.
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ، بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ إِلاَّ مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of companionship when traveling for women who believe in Allah and the Hereafter. It is not lawful for a woman to travel alone, but she must be accompanied by someone known as her Mahram. A Mahram is an unmarriageable kin with whom marriage would be considered incestuous or forbidden such as her father, brother, son or uncle. This hadith emphasizes the importance of companionship and safety when traveling for women and encourages them to take precautionary measures while on their journey. It also serves as a reminder that Allah has set certain laws that we must abide by in order to remain within His boundaries of righteousness and piety.
