REGARDING SISTERS BEING ALONE IN A CAR WITH A DRIVER

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem Aal-Shaykh رحمه الله  says:
“There is no doubt that a woman being alone with a taxi man in his taxi is unlawful.No doubt he will befriend her, which would lead to corruption especially if she is a very shy modest person. So how would it be if the driver is not too religious, immodest and has no shame?! So O Noble Sister in Islam, fear Allah The Exalted, and be not lax regarding such affairs such as the people are. What is important is what your deen tells you, not the custom of the people.”
[Majmoo' Al-Fataawaa, 1/152]
This fatwaa is based on the words of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم :
It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman…

[Bukhari and Muslim]
