Is it forbidden for a female doctor to travel on a scholarship mission without a mahram, knowing that she will be the only specialist in her country upon her return?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is forbidden for a woman to travel for a day and a night or more without a mahram. She must fear Allah and obey His commands and avoid His prohibitions. Therefore, a woman should not travel for study unless a mahram is present. Warding off evil takes precedence over acquiring benefits.
