The Mercury

There needs to be clarification on the issue of Muslim women travelling in Malaysia and the trafficking of drugs.  Muslim women may travel either with their husbands or accompanied with a male family member whom she cannot marry e.g. her father, brother, son, etc. Also, in some instances,  a large group of women may be permitted to travel a long distance. However, it is not possible to explain all the details in this space.

Islam prohibits all forms of dealing in, trafficking and the taking of drugs. The Islamic Law on conditions of travel for Muslim women and dealing in drugs are two seperate issues.
