Riding the Elevator Alone with a Non-Mahram Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: When I stand by the elevator in hotels or hospitals to go up to the upper floors, a woman comes and enters the elevator with me, and we are left alone. Am I required to leave? Is this the forbidden seclusion (khalwah)?
Answer:
Yes, this is the forbidden seclusion, because the door closes on you and you are inside the door, so this is not permissible. Leave; if no one else is with you, leave. Yes.
