Question: Can more than one veiled Islamic sisters sit together in a taxi driven by a non-Maḥram man?
Answer: More than one Islamic sister travelling within the city is definitely less dangerous but the level of danger can vary depending on whether an area is crowded or isolated, and the type of locality. Some neighbourhoods are so dangerous that even Islamic brothers fear to enter them, let alone Islamic sisters. Therefore, even when Islamic sisters travel in groups they should only do so after careful consideration.
Question: If an Islamic sister sits in a taxi with her husband or one or more Maḥram men, then can one or more other Islamic sisters sit with them?
Answer: If the other Islamic sisters are fully veiled and that Islamic sister and her husband or Maḥram men are reliable and well acquainted and trustworthy, then they can travel with them in a car, taxi etc. within the city. However, it is important that the Islamic sisters do not sit with any non-Maḥram male, they should sit apart from each other or have the non-Maḥram Islamic brother’s wife or Maḥram female relative sit in between them.
Question: Can Islamic sisters laugh and speak casually with house-hold servants and security guards? Does a woman have to observe veil with her servant or driver?
