Will this be counted as khalwah (seclusion)? For instance, sometimes a woman\u2019s husband lives abroad and she becomes sick and she needs to go, so what would be the ruling if she goes with a non-mahram relative in a bus or car?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Answer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is <strong>not<\/strong> correct for the woman to sit and go with a <em>non-mahram<\/em> man as asked in the question. This is considered <em>khalawa bil ajnabiyyah<\/em> (seclusion with a <em>non-mahram<\/em>). There are severe warnings against this in the hadiths. Due caution should be adopted in this matter.

There is no <em>fitnah<\/em> in it. From a second narration, it is known that there is no <em>khalwah<\/em> (seclusion) when people are present. However, it is <strong>not<\/strong> permissible, at all, to travel a <em>Shar\u2019ee<\/em> distance [48 miles] even if other women are present.<\/p>\n<p>And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta\u2019ala knows best<br \/>\n(Hazrat Mufti) Radha-ul-Haqq (May Allah preserve him)<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Fatawa Darul Uloom Zakariyah<\/span> Vol.7 Pg.228-230<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>References Used in the Above Fatwa:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FDUZ-7-228.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5674\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FDUZ-7-228-287x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FDUZ-7-230.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5675\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FDUZ-7-230-287x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Is it permissible for a woman to sit with a non-mahram in a car due to need?
