    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1586/1329=L/1429)

     

    If the Ijtema (Islamic function) is nearby or she is in dire need she can go out without mahram with mother in law etc observing purdah provided there is no fear of any fitnah, but for a long journey she must be accompanied by any mahram or husband.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
