Question:
What is the ruling on a woman riding in a car with a young man who is a relative but not a mahram, on the grounds that seclusion is absent, and this is in the case of a short distance, not travel? May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
If this young man is an adult, it is not permissible for her to ride with him alone, because this is seclusion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The third is Satan. However, if this young man has not reached puberty, then it is permissible for her to ride with him, or if there is someone else with her who removes the seclusion, such as a mahram, or women, or anyone who removes the seclusion, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
