Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
What is the ruling on travelling alone or in twos when there is no other people to fill the position of the third person? (i.e. two brothers travelling somewhere)
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate. May His abundant blessing and most perfect of peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of creation, and his family, companions and followers.
It is permitted to travel alone or in twos: the recommendation of traveling in groups is when it is reasonably easy to do so or when there is genuine danger if one travels otherwise, as the hadith commentators explain.
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,
