Is it permissible for a woman who is fully covered to go alone to visit her relatives in the same town?

Question

Is it permissible for a woman who is fully covered to go alone to visit her relatives in the same town? I am aware that she may not go beyond the safar distance of 77 km. If my mother is driving, can I go with her?

Answer

It is not permissible to go with your mother if she is driving, even if your husband consents. Also, it is not permissible to go with even your father without your husband's permission. You can go without a mahram in your town only with the permission of the husband and if it is safe. However, in this present age of fitnah and fasaad, it is not permissible for a woman to go alone even in her neighbourhood even with the permission of the husband and even if she is fully covered.
