Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A female teacher’s school is one hundred kilometers from her home, and she travels every day with a driver who is accompanied by his wife and a group of women. Is there anything forbidden in this? His wife is not a mahram (a relative one may not marry).
Answer:
A mahram is required with a woman. It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel except with a mahram. This is not permissible. The job is not obligatory. If there is no job nearby in the town, the job is not obligatory. Yes, we do not commit a sin in order to obtain a job. Yes.
