Question
A mufti says that it is permissible for a woman to travel by plane without a mahram. He says that the mode of plane travel is safe. The law does not apply to such travel according to him. Is he correct?
Answer
This chap is fodder for Jahannam The character who says that a woman no longer requires a mahram for a journey has lost his Imaan. He is guilty of kufr. In these times there is an increase of jaahil 'muftis' who are agents of shaitaan. In these times there is a greater need for a mahram on a journey.
