Question
Is it permissible for a wom- PURDAH AND HAYA "Nowadays, there is a tempest of be-pardagi (abandonment of purdah). A lust for liberty has developed in women. Modesty is incremently being depleted. In former times, females were honourable. Modesty is a special attribute of the female. But today this attribute is being eliminated in vile ways. In fact, modesty which is an attribute of Imaan is nowadays also lacking in Muslim males. They have no haya (shame) and no ghairat (honour)." (Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi) an to be in the same car with her brother-in-law if her husband is also in the car, and if she is fully covered with burqah?
Answer
It is not permissible for a woman to be in the same car as her brother-in-law even if she is correctly dressed with Hijaab. Even for a very short distance it is not permissible. Only emergencies are excluded. A woman with her brother-in-law in the same car is like a woman with her brother-in-law in the same room. Regardless of the presence of her husband in the room, it is not permissible. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the brother -in-law is her „Maut‟ (death).
