Recitation of the Quran in during Ayyam-e-Makhsoosah (menses)

The journey of a woman with Na-Baaligh (below the age of puberty) brother or with the husband of her maternal aunt

Question 1: What do the blessed scholars say regarding the following issues?

1. Can an adult woman travel for a Shar’i journey with her Na-Baaligh (below the age of puberty) brother who is ten years old and sane too?

2. Can a woman travel for a Shar’i journey with the husband of her maternal aunt whereas there is no blood or foster relationship with him?

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

1. In the light of the principles of Shari’ah, it is necessary for a woman to have a husband or a reliable, non-Faasiq Mahram who is sane, adult, or at least a Murahiq (a boy who is close to puberty) with her in a journey of three days (i.e. 92 kilometres), without whom it is impermissible, Haraam and a grievous sin to travel. Therefore, in the above-mentioned case, it is impermissible for the woman to travel for a Shar’i journey (i.e. 92 kilometres) with her Na-Baaligh brother who is ten years old because a ten years old boy is neither adult nor Murahiq. The blessed scholars have stated the age of a Murahiq to be 12 years.

2. In the rulings of blessed Shari’ah, the husband of maternal aunt is like ‘Ajnabi’ [اَجنَبِی] (an unrelated individual man). Therefore, the woman cannot travel with him.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

Women cannot recite the Holy Quran in Ayyam-e-Makhsoosah; even with the intention of learning the lesson as reciting the Holy Quran in these days is Haraam. However, they can see and listen to it.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
