Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says that he works in transporting women and that he transports a woman alone without a mahram. Is the money he earns from this work forbidden money?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. He must not be alone with her. This is khalwah (seclusion). It is not permissible for him to be alone with her in a car, in a house, or in the open. He must not be alone with her. When the women get out, they get out with their mahram, and her wali (guardian) comes and takes her. Yes.
