2900 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي اكْتُتِبْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَامْرَأَتِي حَاجَّةٌ، قَالَ: «فَارْجِعْ مَعَهَا»

Commentary
a. The importance of a traveling woman being accompanied by a Mahram is so serious that due to this excuse one is exempt from Jihād. b. Some scholars are of the opinion that if a group of women travel accompanied by their Mahram men, then the woman who does not have a Mahram or her Mahram cannot afford the expenses of Hajj, may travel with this caravan. In this situation, most probably she does not face the harassment due to which she is prevented from traveling without being accompanied by her Mahram. Allāh knows best.
