The questioner : The questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman riding with a driver in the company of her children, whose ages are between five and six to seven years old?
The Shaykh : I see that this varies, for some drivers are trustworthy and it is not possible for them to speak to a woman, let alone joke with her or laugh with her. So in this case, we might say that when the children reach this age, seclusion is lifted. But when will one find such a driver? The ruling I issue is prohibition, unless there is an adult man with her, or a woman who is one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry). Yes.
