Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman asks and says: Is it permissible for me to take a taxi with my friend to go to school with my husband's permission?
Answer:
If this is within the city, a group of women riding in a taxi, there is no harm in that. There is no forbidden seclusion; the forbidden seclusion is for her to ride alone with the driver. But if we are a group of women, the seclusion is gone, and the need calls for this, there is nothing wrong with it, if Allah wills. As for travel, no, they do not travel, even if we were hundreds or thousands, they do not travel without a mahram. Likewise, being alone with the driver is not permissible in any case. Yes.
