The questioner : I have two questions, Shaykh. The first question. I have a sister who travels a distance of about one hundred and twenty kilometers. I repeat, I repeat the first question. I have a sister who is a teacher. Yes. And her school is located one hundred and twenty kilometers from the area where we live. They travel with a driver. Her school is one hundred and twenty kilometers from the area where we live, and ten other female teachers travel with her. Yes. And they do not have a mahram with them. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : There is no harm if he does not isolate himself with one of them.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Shaykh, regarding the issue of the female teachers, we actually receive many questions about it. When the driver drops off the female teachers, you mentioned the ruling on that, may Allah preserve you. Usually, one remains when the driver drops off the female teachers. One remains. How does she handle this, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This is absolutely impossible. He must have two of them, with their faces close together. Yes.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Then he drops them all off and picks them all up.
