The Shaykh : If not seating her in a place occupied by one of the seated men leads to a legal harm, for example, if the bus takes her sometimes to the right and sometimes to the left, and she might be thrown into the lap of one of the seated men—ha ha—this is clearly a case where she should be seated, yes.

Another questioner : A brother asks and says:

The Shaykh : A moment... no, a moment, but the problem is that the woman needs to sit in a place where a man will be next to her. How is the problem solved in that case? How, I mean, is the problem solved?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I mean, with this question... we should remember that we are not in a problem and then become in another problem. That is, we solve one problem but fall into another.
