What is the ruling on a woman going out to pray the tarawih prayer alone with the driver?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A woman went out to pray the tarawih prayer alone with the driver. What is the ruling on her action?

Answer:
This is seclusion (khalwah). If she goes out with the driver and rides with him, and there is no one else with them, this is seclusion, whether she goes for the tarawih prayer or for anything else. This is forbidden (haram). No man is to be alone with a woman except that Shaytan is the third among them, and the third among them is Shaytan. It is not permissible for her to ride alone with a driver who is not one of her mahram (relatives one may not marry).
