Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘A person does not seclude himself
with a woman except that the third one is the Shaytaan.’ (Targheeb part3
pg.38).

It is, therefore, extremely important for a person to exercise great
precaution in getting into contact with strange women. You should avoid it
under all circumstances. Rather, you should seek alternate venues or make
some type of agreement with the woman so that you do not clash or come into
contact with each other.
