A woman is not permitted to travel without a (unmarriageable kin) except in cases of extreme necessity. It is also not permissible for a woman to be in (seclusion) with a non-mahram man, such as being alone with a driver, even if the car is driving on crowded streets. A man must be accountable before Allah for those under his care and protect them from causes of temptation and evil.
