Traveling Alone at Night for Muslim Women

SUMMARY: A Muslim woman must not travel alone at night unless she is accompanied by a man who is within the prohibited degrees.

Abu Huraira reported : The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) 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.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، 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 the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to travel alone at night without being accompanied by a man who is within the prohibited degrees. The prohibited degrees refer to those people with whom marriage would be considered incestuous or forbidden in Islam such as one's father, son, brother etc. This hadith emphasizes the importance of safety and security for women and encourages them to take necessary precautions when travelling alone. It also serves as an important reminder of Islamic values and teachings which prioritize respect and protection of women in society.
