Can a woman travel alone to Pakistan from USA?

Question

I have been away from my parents for the last 3 years. Can I go alone to meet my parents without mahram.

Answer

A woman is prohibited to travel more than 48 Shar?ee miles without a Mahram. Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?A woman should not travel (more than 48 Shar?ee miles) except with a Mahram.?

In view of the above, it is incorrect for you to travel from the US to Pakistan without a Mahram.
