Can woman travel without Muhram for any urgent matter?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Presently I’m working in Saudi Arabia, My wife also stay with me. Due to some emergency situation my wife need to go back to Home (India). I can’t get any leave from the company due to work pressure. Can she travel without me ? (without muhram), what should I do in this situation ?

Answer

It is compulsory for a woman to be accompanied by a Mahram on a journey
distancing 88 kms. or more. If you (the husband) can not accompany her, then
she may travel with her father, son, brother, nephew, etc. (Shaami vol.6
pg.390; HM Saeed).
