Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah protect you, what is the ruling on earning a livelihood in school transportation, whether by providing vehicles or working as drivers, for distances of two hundred, three hundred, or one hundred kilometers? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
What is the ruling?
The questioner:
What is the ruling on working in school transportation, whether by providing vehicles—some provide vehicles owned by the employer, and some drive the car, such as women?
The Shaykh:
No, I do not know; I am a student.
The questioner:
Even if I do not know of the presence of a mahram, but a group of female teachers and a bus driver are transporting seven girls.
The Shaykh:
A woman does not travel except with a mahram, and the presence of a group of women is not sufficient in place of a mahram. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1088 except with a mahram.

لا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر
