Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Sometimes, while I am at the airport, a person comes to me with his elderly mother and says, "Watch out for her until she reaches the other airport, and my brother will meet you there." So, should I agree to do this?
Answer:
No, do not cooperate with him in sin and transgression. Say: This is not permissible for you; it is forbidden for you. A mahram is required.
