Q:
1. Can a I ask a Muslim woman who usually does not wear burqa while going out to accompany me to go nearby shops to buy necessary house hold items? Please note that I wear burqa and cover up myself while going out and there is no male in our house to buy things so we have to ask some neighbour ladies to accompany us for shopping and all.
2. Our relative lady knows driving can we go with her in their car to buy things? Please note that she doesn’t wear burqa and drives the car.
3. If a woman drives car wearing burqa but face is uncovered can we go with her somewhere?
A:
1. If she is running these types of things it is permissible to request her.
2 – 3. It is undesirable.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
