The Ruling on a Woman Being Alone with a Non-Mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you could follow up with the Honorable Shaykh on the laxity of women and their guardians regarding the issue of a woman’s mahram status when she goes out with non-mahrams, whether in travel or within the cities?
Answer:
Within the cities, it is not called travel, but it may be seclusion. It is not permissible for a woman to be alone with a man who is not one of her mahrams, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Whether the seclusion is in a house, in a car, in a hospital, in one of the administrative offices, or otherwise. However, if there are men or women present with them who remove the seclusion, without any suspicion, there is no harm in that. Yes.

No man is to be alone with a woman except that Satan is the third among them.
