Assalamalaykum,
Dear respected Mufti,
traveling nowadays is only with international passports. Hijab ladies in our country could only process this int. passport with female immigration officers after paying a higher contractual fees. All these to avoid contravening the sharia on hijab. what is the shariah regarding the possibilities of other male immigration officer seeing their photographs on their systems and networks and in the official files used in passport procurement offices. Are muslim ladies still allowed to procure this passport? can they still travel for Hajj umarah and tabligh via this system? pls advice and guide from shariah point of view.
