وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ إِلاَّ مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ عَلَيْهَا " .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1339c
This Hadith gives a similar teaching about women travel with Mahram. Here the wording mentions a journey extending over a day and a night. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said it is not lawful for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafter to travel for that span unless a Mahram is with her. The Hadith keeps the message clear: faith should shape how a Muslim travels and follows lawful boundaries. It does not add extra details about different travel types or modern cases. Based only on this text, the key point is that a woman’s travel over this stated period is tied to the presence of a Mahram.
What we learn from this hadith
- A journey of a day and night is mentioned with mahram company.
- The Hadith connects lawful travel behavior with faith.
- A Mahram’s presence is presented as the required travel companion in this wording.
