A woman is not permitted to travel without a , even if her husband grants permission. This is because there is no obedience to a created being if it involves disobedience to the Creator, especially since there is no pressing necessity. The training period can be compensated for at a later time when the husband can travel with her. If the husband insists on her traveling, he must provide her with a mahram to accompany her.
