Chapter: A woman travelling with a Mahram for Hajj and other purposes

A woman should not set out on three (days' journey) except when she has a Mahram with her.

" More than three (days)." Ibn Numair narrated on the authority of his father, (and the words are):" Three (days) except (when) she has a Mahram with her."

It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Hereafter to travel for more than three nights journey except when there is a Mahram with her.

I heard a hadith from Abu Sa'id (Allah be pleased with him) and it impressed me (very much) , so I said to him : Did you hear it (yourself) from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ? Thereupon he said : (Can) I speak of anything about Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which I did not bear ? He said : I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying : Do not set out on a journey (for religious devotion) but for the three mosques-for this mosque of mine (at Medina) the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca) , and the Mosque al-Aqsa (Bait al-Maqdis) , and I heard him saying also : A woman should not travel for two days duration , but only when there is a Mahram with her or her husband.

I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) saying : I heard four things from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which impressed me and captivated me (and one out of these is this) , that he forbade a woman to undertake journey extending over two days but with her husband , or with a Mahram ; and he then narrated the rest of the hadith.
