The questioner : A questioner says, O honorableThe Shaykh : It is observed that girls' schools have many drivers, both Muslim and non-Muslim, and their appearance in terms of adornment is strange. They stand near the school gates, and there may be a mahram with them, or only a small child, or no one at all. Second: The teachers wear clothing that violates modesty and covering, such as open, transparent, and tight clothes. What is the guidance of the honorable father regarding this?
The Shaykh : Yes. I say: It is obligatory for the one who transports women, whether students, teachers, counselors, or principals, to fear Allah regarding himself and to stay away from the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Among the causes of fitnah is that he goes out in the most beautiful clothing and the best possible appearance, as if this day were his wedding night. He may even sprinkle perfume on himself that causes women to be captivated. This is what I advise him to do for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If it is possible for him to control the matter from himself, otherwise, it is obligatory for him to report the matter to the authorities and have it prevented. The General Presidency for Girls' Education used to do this. If they saw from someone something that indicated an action that would captivate women, they would dismiss him. This is what is obligatory. They are to be thanked if they carry this out. As for the women, it is not permissible for a woman to ride alone with the driver, even if the distance between her and the school is short; it is not permissible for her to do so, because Satan runs through the son of Adam like blood. And what prevents there being conversation between them that indicates harm? It may not happen on the first day or the second day. But with frequent contact, the feeling decreases, and it progresses with the woman little by little. Even if nothing else happened, he might take pleasure in her voice and his desire would be aroused. And a person is human. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman, no matter who she is and no matter who the driver is, to be alone with him in the car.
