Question:
He says: What is the ruling on riding in an elevator if there are women in it who do not have their mahram (a relative one may not marry) with them?
Answer:
A mahram is only required for travel, but keep the mixing to a minimum. Mixing is not permissible; mixing and crowding with women is not permissible. This is not permissible not because there is no mahram, but because of the crowding and mixing.
