The Ruling on a Woman Traveling Alone and Riding with a Driver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to ride with a driver alone, or with a small child? And is it permissible for a woman to travel alone by plane without a mahram?
Answer:
This has been explained many times in "Nur 'ala al-Darb" and many times in the "Al-Da'wah" magazine, so it is not permissible.
By the way, the "Al-Da'wah" magazine also contains useful articles and useful answers, which a seeker of benefit should review.
The conclusion is that a woman is not allowed to ride with a driver alone if he is a non-mahram, someone who is not a mahram to her. Rather, she must have a third person with her: such as her brother, her mother, her maternal aunt, or the like, so that the seclusion is removed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.

لا يخلونَّ الرجلُ بامرأةٍ، فإنَّ الشيطان ثالثهما
