It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a , nor to be in seclusion with a non-mahram man. If she is compelled to travel and does not find a mahram or a husband, it is better for her to go by herself or with a safe company, such as public transportation. Having non-mahram men accompany her is more forbidden than her traveling alone, because it constitutes seclusion with a non-mahram, which is forbidden by Islamic law.
