The answer

A woman going out with a non- driver is considered forbidden (private seclusion), due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "No man is alone with a woman unless there is a mahram with her." And if it is said that her going out with him in the city and in front of people's eyes is not khalwa, this is a weak opinion and an improbable possibility, due to the harms and dangers involved. It is preferable that a woman performs this work if possible.
