The ruling on a woman traveling with a non-mahram for a distance of less than a day and a night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a woman traveling with a non-mahram for a distance of less than a day and a night?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to ride with a non-mahram, to be alone with him in a car, or to go with him on a donkey or a camel. This is seclusion (khalwah), not travel. We do not call it travel; we do not call it travel what is less than the distance of shortening the prayer (qasr). We call it seclusion with a foreign man. Therefore, seclusion is not permissible, and it is more dangerous than travel. The seclusion of a man with a woman is more dangerous than travel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitanما خلى رجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2165Sahih (Darussalam)
Seclusion is more severe than travel without a mahram.
