A woman being alone with a driver in a car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people say that a woman being alone with a driver in a car is not seclusion (khalwah), because people can see him and see her. He asks: Is what they say correct?
Answer:
This is a wrong and incorrect statement, because being with him in the car is more dangerous, as she becomes in his control; he could run away with her, and he would not be deterred from lusting after her. Being with him in the car is more dangerous than if she were walking with him on foot. This is more dangerous because the car is in his hand and he has full control over it. If he wanted to run away with her, he would do so, and Satan is present. This is not permissible. Yes.
