Book of Ḥudūd (Prescribed Penalties)
Primary text
If the woman's guardian or close male relative (mahram) accompanies her, she is exiled to the distance of Qasr. According to a transmission from Ahmad, she is exiled to the distance of Qasr, similar to the man, which is also the position of Al-Shafi'i.
Supporting text
A view transmitted from Ahmad suggests she should be exiled to a distance less than Qasr so that she remains closer to her family, allowing them to guard her.
