Or this gem:
Is it counted as travelling for a women, if she was to go to a place that was 40km (25miles),away from her house and was to stay in a safe-secure all-girls environment,
for 2 nights, and return home the 3rd day?? I don't see this as travelling, because that women hasn't travelled for more then 88 km.

ANSWER
In principle, a woman supposed to remain within the precincts of her home and should not emerge except at the time of necessity. Allah has declared in the Qur’aan, ‘And O Women, remain within your homes and do not exhibit yourself like the displays of the immoral women of former times of ignorance.’ (al-Ahzaab Aayat33)
Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] mentioned, ‘Women have no need to emerge (from their homes) except in cases of necessity.’ (Tabrani).
It is also not permissible for a woman to travel the distance of 88 kms except with a Mahram. Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is reported to have mentioned, ‘A woman is prohibited from traveling the distance of three days (approximately 88 kms) except with a Mahram.’ (Bukhari pg.147)
With regard to less than 88 kms., it will only be permissible under the following conditions:
1. There is no alternative, e.g. no Shar’ee Mahram available to accompany her;
2. There should be no fear of Fitnah or life/respect, etc.
3. She observes the laws of Hijaab.
Only under the following conditions will it be permissibe, otherwise not.
