Question

Is a woman counted as a mahram for a non-related woman when travelling and in other cases, or not?

Praise be to Allah.

A woman cannot be a mahram for anyone else. The mahram
is a man who is forbidden for marriage to the woman because of blood
ties, such as her father or brother; or a mahram through marriage, such
as her husband, husband’s father or husband’s son; or a father or son
through ridaa’ (breastfeeding, i.e., the father or son of the woman
who breastfed her), and so on.

It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a non-mahram
woman or to travel with her, because the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No woman should travel
except with a mahram” (saheeh, agreed upon). And he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No man is alone with
a woman, but the third one present with them is the Shaytaan” (narrated
by Imaam Ahmad and others, from the hadeeth of ‘Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him) with a saheeh isnaad).

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
