The ruling on a man being alone with a woman in a car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah reward you, is it permissible for a man to carry a single woman in his car while being alone with her?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not sit with her. If a third person prays with them, he does not sit with her. This is seclusion. This is the correct view.
The questioner:
Ishaq, taxi, meaning.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not allow a man to be alone with a woman, for the Shaytan is the third among them. Therefore, it is not permissible for a taxi driver to carry a single woman, nor for anyone other than a taxi driver, because this is seclusion. He may take her to any place. The Shaytan may beautify things for her, and he may do what harms him and harms her. Yes.
The questioner:
Safar becomes one Safar.
The Shaykh:
No, seclusion is not valid except with a man.
The questioner:
Abu, he withdrew.
The Shaykh:
Is it a man or a teenager?
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm. Two or three, as long as there is no suspicion, there is no harm. No, no.
The questioner:
Even if he is inside the city.
The Shaykh:
Inside the city or outside the city, travel is not permissible except with a mahram. The point is regarding non-travel. Yes.
