The ruling on a woman going out to pray the tarawih prayer without a mahram

Question : May Allah bless you, Shaykh Muhammad. Regarding a woman going out to pray the tarawih prayer with a driver without a mahram, is this permissible for her?

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. It is not permissible for a woman to ride with a driver alone without a mahram, whether to pray the tarawih prayer, or to go to study, or to go to teach. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No man is to be alone with a woman except that the Shaytan is the third among them." And he said: "No man is to be alone with a woman except that she has a mahram with her." So it is not permissible for her to ride with the driver alone. However, if there are women with the driver and no mahram is with them, and this is within the city, then there is nothing wrong with it, provided that the driver is trustworthy.
