Woman Traveling Alone
That was no religious injunction, but a circumstantial one. The holy prophet has indicated that there would come a time when a woman from Hera to Makka would come alone, and she wouldn’t be afraid of anyone except God. Narrated Adi bin Hatim:While I was in the city of the Prophet, a man came and complained to him (the Prophet) of destitution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The Prophet said, "Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?" I said, "I haven't been to it, but I was informed about it." He said, "If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka ba, fearing none but Allah.” (Bukhari 3595)
