Going on a Field-Trip with My Class

[NaSra]

Asalamalaikum


As part of my "Marketing group tours" class our class has to go on a 2 weeks trip to the north-Island. I don't want to go on the trip becuase I don't want to be in an non-muslim atmosphere for 2 weeks. We'll be staying at a hotel & and we get to some of the greatest sightseeings of the northIsland. My teacher has been telling me that its very important that I go.


so here is my question:


Can a Muslimah travel without a mahram for 2 weeks?


another thing that I just found out is for me to fully gain 100% competency= a pass in this class. There is a huge assignment (I can do that in my own time) and an "educational-Report assessment" which is part of the field-trip.


If I dont go on that field-trip there is no way I can do the "educational report" and that is part of the criteria that I need to meet for my major.


InshaAllah all nasseeha is welcomed

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]

O i didnt know that u already made a decision and u r just making the thread for educational purposes. But I asked a scholar and gave him full detail about the education part and report u have to give. He said u may go.


And i am not sure the 3 night thing whether it refers to the duration of journey or stay I might refer back to him.


Because initially I put the question based on your circumstances and not a general question.

sorry if I got busy and forgot to tell u that 3 day issue applies one leaving her house for more than 3 days.

[NaSra]

Salam


JZK muslimah for finding that out for me. I was a bit confused about the 3 days.


I spoke to the head of my Uni I can come back within 5 days and still complete everything that is required of me. No 2 weeks for me Alhamdulilah. Yey!


I'm leaving next sunday.........


I really wish I wasn't going


Insha'Allah I will take heaps of pictures of the North Island and show you all when I get back. [img]style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img]

Alhamdulilah I made it back to the South Island safe & sound. My last night on my trip I felt like I was on a survivor episode. I got sick but alhamdulilah I got better the next morning.


First we flew to Auckland we stayed there for two nights.


Then we flew to the Bay of islands.


Here are some pictures of my 1 week adventure


Here is a picture of the hotel we stayed in AKL


My Room was on the 9th floor.





We walked over the Auckland harbour bridge, we had to wear carabena to ensure that that we didn't fell over the bridge. subhanaAllah it was so high and scarry, when I was mid way I wanted to get off but one girl kept encouraging me. Two girls and one guy had to be taken down by resquers. Just imagine being over 60 feet off water and it was windy too.

Here are some pictures of Paihia, masha'allah paihia was the highlight of my trip. Paihia is a small town in the bay of islands.





The water, the weather, were all great & the the sheeps lol. I've never seen so much sheep in my entire life before as I have seen up in the north. Another thing I have noticed is the number of rainbows. I was honestly startled by those rainbows so big and colourful. I have never seen such amazing rainbows in my entire life.





Cape reinga:


Another incredible sight. Cape Reinga is located at the meeting place of two oceans - the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea. As you look out you can see the turbulent waters at the exact point the two oceans meet.
