Question
Sometimes when I am riding the bike , some women who are not Mahram to me request me to pick and drop them at some destination as a help. Sometimes these non Mahram women are known to me like they are friends to my mother. And sometimes they are non Mahram and unknown however they are very old women. Is it permissible for me to ride with them in such situations given the fact that if I say no, they may feel bad and this behaviour will also cause problems with my mother.
Text Answer
No it is not permissible for you at all because it is mixing and coming into contact with non Mahram women and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said ( For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than for him to touch a woman who is not permissible for him ) . Doing so also includes exposing your self to the wrath of Allah as it came in the Hadeeth ( Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah whilst angering the creation , Allah will be pleased with him and He will also make the people pleased with him. And whoever seeks the pleasure of the people whilst angering Allah, Allah will be angry with him and He will also make the people angry with him. ) .
