Etiquette of Women in Attending Lessons and Riding with the Driver

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some of the sisters who attend the lesson fall into some, in some, they fall into, in the lesson, some of the others who build upon this lesson, such as turning on the mobile phone, and some of them also fall into a great negligence and they ride with the driver without a mahram (relative one may not marry) being present.

Answer:
Yes, it is incumbent upon the one who attends the lesson that he listens and does not occupy himself with anything else, and does not answer the mobile phone; he turns it off. If he has a mobile phone, he turns it off until he is done with what he is in. As for her riding with the driver without a mahram, this is haram (forbidden). This is khalwah (seclusion with a non-mahram), this is khalwah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No man is to be alone with a woman except with… . And she does not ride with the driver alone; this falls under this hadith. So these women should turn to Allah and not ride with the driver without a mahram, without anyone. As for if a group of women ride with the driver in the town or a nearby place, there is no khalwah. But if she rides alone with the driver and no one is with her, this is forbidden khalwah. Yes.
