Asalamalaikum muslimah JZK for the response
I know that a woman is not supposed to be travelling on a journey that lasts more than 3 nights without a mahram (correct me if I am wrong please). The journey our class will take is going to be less than 24-hours *in travelling time* the stay at the destination is 2 weeks. I don’t think that’s going to make any difference though since it still falls under the category of not travelling without a mahram.
I actually did discuss this with my hubby. He's Not too Enthusiastic & so are all of my other mahrams. If it all would come down to me I would still not be 100% happy to go. I would be sharing rooms with non-muslim Girls. I can’t be comfortable knowing that I have to keep my hijabs on 24/7 each day for an entire 2 weeks. I would easily suffocate from all the discomfort [img]style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif[/img]
I started this thread & asked the question for educational purposes that I want to understand InshaAllah. I read the hadith that says "a woman can’t travel without a mahram for a journey that takes more than 3 nights’" Does that mean its permissible for a woman to travel as long she doesn’t exceed the length of 3 nights? Does the 3 nights also include the time of stay spend at the destination? Or is that only for the amount of days/nights she’ll spend travelling to the destination?
(Sorry) My paranoia for the 3 nights is running wild [img]style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Looking forward to your answer Muslimah [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img]
