Question
An Aalim advises his wife to sit at the back seat of the car instead of the passengers seat next to him, the husband advises that it's a Sunnah to be seated behind the husband instead of next to him whilst travelling, what is the Majlis comment on the above?
Answer
Yes, it is right. There is more purdah in the wife sitting in the rear seat. In front there is greater exposure. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ―Woman is Aurah.‖ That is she has to be totally concealed.
