Question:
These are issues that deal with the
woman that I would like you to clarify, and may Allah (swt) reward you:
1.
What is the evidence for the
prohibition of the woman to travel for Hajj except for with a Mahram
(unmarriageable kin)?
2. Is it permissible for the woman to be
an ambassador, and if the answer is no then why? With the knowledge that being
an ambassador is not a position of ruling?
Answer:
1.
The evidence is:
A. Related by al-Bukhari in his Sahih on
the authority of Ibn Abbas (ra) who said: The Prophet (saw) said: "A woman should not travel except with a
Dhu-Mahram (unmarriageable kin) and no man may visit her except in the presence
of a Dhu-Mahram." So a man stood up and said: "O
Allah's Apostle! I intend to go to such and such and arm (for Jihad) and my
wife wants to perform Hajj." The Prophet (saw)
said (to him): "Go along with her
(to Hajj)"
B. And Ibn Hajar said in the explanation
of the hadith in the book Fath al-Bari: (and Darqatni related it and Abu Awana
Hadith al-Bab corrected it through Ibn Hajar through Amru bin Dinar with the
phrase: "A woman does not go to
Hajj except with Dhu-Mahram." This is the most correct that I have and there are other
details... And Allah is the Guide to the way of righteousness.
2. All of the acts that require private
situations, meaning a kind of being in seclusion (khulwa) even if it was only
sometimes, then the woman is prohibited from practicing it... and the work of
an ambassador requires that, because there are matters that the ambassador is
responsible for conveying without anyone viewing... and this is enough of a
reason without needing to research other issues of why a woman is prohibited
from being an ambassador.
