Riyad as-Salihin 990 (Book 7, Hadith 35) #37479
Traveling with a Mahram

SUMMARY: Men and women should not be alone together unless they are related, and a woman should not travel without a Mahram.

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet said, "No man must not be alone with a woman except in the presence of her (Mahram). No woman should travel except in company of a (Mahram)". A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have been enrolled for such and such expedition, and my wife left for Hajj". He said to him, "Go and perform Hajj with your wife". Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أنه سمع النبي يقول‏:‏ ‏"‏لا يخلون رجل بامرأة إلا ومعها ذو محرم، ولا تسافر المرأة إلا مع ذي محرم‏"‏ فقال له رجل‏:‏ يا رسول الله إن امرأتي خرجت حاجّة، وإني اكتتبت في غزوة كذا وكذا‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏انطلق فحج مع امرأتك‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of traveling with companions, specifically for women. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was asked by a man if his wife could go on Hajj without him, to which the Prophet replied that he should go with her. This hadith teaches us that it is important for men and women to have companions when they travel, as it is safer than traveling alone. It also teaches us that men and women should not be alone together unless they are related in some way; this is known as haram or forbidden in Islam. The Prophet's response to the man shows us that he was compassionate towards him and wanted him to accompany his wife on her journey so she would be safe.
