Women sitting in the back seat of the car
Question
I would like to know if it's wrong to make your mother in law sit in the back seat of the car? Even though we respect and love her.
Answer
Women should be made to sit at the back. In this, there is more purdah and concealment which conforms to the teachings of Islam.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
