    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1109/1066=D/1430)

     

    She can travel within 78 kilometres observing hijab.

    (2) She is not allowed to travel alone with non-mahram driver, even if it is within 78 km, then also it is unlawful; since she will be in privacy with a non-mahram.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
