Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to ride with a driver without a mahram?

Answer:
Traveling or not traveling? Traveling is definitely not permissible, and within the city it is not permissible because this is seclusion, not travel. She is not allowed to travel without a mahram. As for within the city, she does not ride with a non-mahram driver because this is seclusion. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No man is to be alone with a woman except that the third of them is Satan."
