Q: She goes out for luxuries?
The Shaykh: Not everyone is suitable to buy the necessities.

Q: O Shaykh, some of them go out with drivers?
The Shaykh: In a car, no, there must be a third person with her. But if she is walking on her feet, she does not need a mahram. As for the driver, no, there must be a third person with her, either a woman or a man or more, without any suspicion.
