The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman who works and has a driver, and with her are female workers whom she distributes to schools, and then she goes with the driver to the home inside the city? Is this forbidden or permissible?
The Shaykh : As for if there are women with her, it is not forbidden if the driver is trustworthy. But if she is alone with him, that is forbidden for her, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:, and there is no difference between the distance being far or near within the city.
