Travel
According to Quran and Sunnah
Hadith - Bukhari 4.250, Narrated
Ibn Abbas
That he heard the Prophet
saying, "It is not permissible for a man to be alone
with a woman, and no lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband
or a person whom she cannot marry in any case forever; e.g. her father, brother,
etc.)." Then a man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have enlisted
in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj."
Allah's Apostle said, "Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife."
Hadith - Bukhari 4.242, Narrated Ibn
'Umar
The Prophet
said, "If the people knew what I know about traveling
alone, then nobody would travel alone at night."
Hadith - Muwatta 54.37 and Bukhari 2.194, Narrated
AbuHuraira
[Ahmad, Muslim, Aboo Daawood, Ibn Maajah] Shaykh
al-Albaanee declares it authentic in Saheehul-Jaami (no.
7651).
Malik related to me from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah
said, "It is not halal for a woman who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to travel the distance of a day and night without
a man who is her
mahram."
Hadith - Muslim #4725
On the authority of Abu Huraira that the Prophet
said: Travelling is a tortuous experience. It
deprives a person of his sleep, his food and drink. When one of you
has accomplished his purpose, he should hasten his return to his
family.
Hadith - Bukhari 8:182, Narrated Anas bin
Malik
Allah's Apostle
was on a journey and he had a black slave [servant] called Anjasha, and he
was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels).
Allah's Apostle
said, "Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha!
Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!"
Hadith - Bukhari 8:230, Narrated Anas bin
Malik
The Prophet
had a Had (a camel driver) called Anjasha, and he had a nice voice. The Prophet
said to him, "(Drive) slowly, O Anjasha! Do not break
the glass vessels!" And Qatada said, "(By 'vessels') he meant the
weak women."
Hadith - Muslim, Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Messenger
said: Angels do not accompany the travellers who have
with them a dog and a bell.
Seek Allah's Guidance
before Traveling
Istikhara (Arabic) means to ask Allah to guide one to the right thing concerning
any affair in one's life, especially when one has to choose between two
permissible alternatives. A traveller should consult good righteous persons
before setting out on a journey, because Allah says, "And consult them (O
Prophet) in affairs (of moment)," (Qur'an 3.159) and one of the characteristics
of the believers is that "they (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation"
(Qur'an 42.38).
Qatadah said, "Every people who seek the pleasure of Allah and consult with
one another are guided to the best course in their affairs."
The traveller should also make istikharah and
seek guidance from Allah. Sa' d ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet, peace
be upon him, said, "Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) is one of the
distinct favors (of Allah) upon man, and a good fortune for the son of Adam
is to be pleased with the judgment of Allah. And a misfortune of the son
of Adam is his failure to make istikharah (seeking Allah's guidance), and
a misfortune for the son of Adam is his displeasure with the judgment of
Allah." Ibn Taimiyyah said, "He who seeks guidance from the Creator and consults
the creatures will never regret it."
