Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : What is the ruling on a female teacher traveling for work to a village in the region, where she travels with the driver assigned to transport the teachers, accompanied by her mother, wife, or sister, and a group of female teachers?
The Shaykh : Yes, a woman traveling with a driver is permissible if she is with women, provided it is not a long journey but rather to the outskirts of the town or further, as long as she returns on the same day. There is no harm in that, because the prohibition consists of one of two things: either traveling or seclusion. Here, there is neither traveling nor seclusion. Yes.
