Travelling with a non-mahram woman
Question
I am a married male attending a course over the weekend as well as a married female who lives in my street and belongs to the same running club. The course location is about 10km away from our houses and she suggested we travel together on Saturday and Sunday to and from to save travelling cost. Is this advisable?
Answer
It is not at all advisable. The hadeeth condemns a man secluding with a woman.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
