Volume 4, Book 52, Number 250:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
That he heard the Prophet saying, "It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and
no lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry
in any case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then a man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I
have enlisted in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj." Allah's
Apostle said, "Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife."
