The ruling on a woman riding in a car with her sister and her sister’s husband

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In her final question, she asks: What is the ruling on a woman riding in her sister’s husband’s car while traveling, with his wife also present?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to travel except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel except with a mahram.” Likewise, it is not permissible for her to ride with a non-mahram in the city or otherwise if she is alone with a man who is not a mahram for her; because this is a forbidden seclusion (khalwah). And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan.ما خلا رجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان.
