Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man asked me to take his wife to a college about twenty kilometers away, and the trip takes about an hour due to heavy traffic. This is within Riyadh. My car, Honorable Shaykh, is a van. Is it permissible for me to take her without a mahram, and is the cloth curtain between us sufficient?
Answer:
If there is no one else with you, it is not permissible; this is seclusion. However, if there are other women in the car, or if there is someone else with whom seclusion is not a concern, there is no harm.
The presenter:
Yes.
