Undoubtedly, it is haraam for a woman to undertake a journey without a mahram. This evil is endemic in Muslim society of today. Women in droves go for Hajj without mahrams.

Even the girls madrasahs permit the girls to travel without mahrams. On holidays when they go home and when the girls return to madrasah they travel without mahrams. In fact, even from foreign countries girls come to South African girls madrasahs without mahrams, and this evil is considered perfectly permissible by the molvis of the institutions who have lost the Path of Allah Ta'ala.

When even the molvis who operate madrasahs actively condone this haraam act, there is no surprise when a modernist woman does globe-trotting without a mahram. The Deen today is taught and imparted for worldly and nafsaani objectives, not for the Sake of Allah Ta'ala, hence the so-called 'ulama' or better, the ulama-e-soo' halaalize any Shar'i prohibition to pander to their satanic whims and fancies. Zina has become a way of life – a norm – in today's Muslim society and no one bats an eyelid in surprise.
