The Ruling on a Wife Going Out with a Driver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a wife going out with a driver to the market or to women's clubs without her husband's consent, on the pretext that these matters are necessities? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This act involves two sins. The first sin is that she went out with the driver, and this is seclusion (khalwah); she was alone with him in the car, and he is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam) This is seclusion. The second matter is that she disobeyed her husband. Disobeying the husband is forbidden (muharram). So she has committed two sins. She should fear Allah, repent to Him, and not return to such a thing. Yes.

ما خلا رجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان.
