Summary
In principle, riding together on a motorcycle with a non-mahram person is prohibited, based on the principle of blocking the means to wrongdoing and guarding against forbidden desire. However, this fatwa holds that it is permissible for a man of trustworthy religion and character to give an elderly woman a ride out of compassion and a wish to help. The permission is stronger when desire is absent and forbidden temptation is avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Meskipun begitu, sekiranya seseorang lelaki yang terpercaya dari sudut agama dan keperibadiannya, ingin menumpangkan seorang wanita tua atas dasar belas ehsan dan ingin membantu, kami berpendapat bahawa hal ini diharuskan.
