Re: confusion
I think the 40 miles was mentioned for Old times where there were no securities for ladies. We can even apply it in today's world, where if a woman is alone in a certain area,, chances are she will be insecure or khuda na kasta advantage will be taken from her. So there is a reason why woman needs to have man or Mehram always with her to protect her.. After all No matter how independent a woman is, eventually she will need a man's support to live her life....... Personal opinion hain it can be wrong as well.. so correct me if so...
