Is it permissible for a woman to pray in the presence of strange men? Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh said: If she is forced to pray in a place outside her home, the home of a relative, or the home of a female companion, she should pray in a location where strange men cannot see her. If it is unavoidable to pray in a place where strange men can see her, she must then be fully covered so that nothing of her body is visible, and no strategy men should be alone with her in that place.

And also while travelling if there is no masjid along the way with a separate area for women? Answer: A woman must cover her entire body during prayer except for the face and hands. However, if she prays in the presence of strange men who can see her, she is required to cover her entire body, including the face and hands. Source: https://t.me/qweasdzxcmnblkjpoik/4764
