Fathwa, - His mother asks him to accompany his female cousins to and from public places

Question
AsalamoAlikum Kindly Help me on the following situation. quite some
times my female cousins come to our home. Majority of females in my
famliy and among my cousins do not do proper Hijab and neither do they
take care of mixing. My mother asks me to take her, my sisters , and
cousins to shopping malls or some other public place. Is it allowed
for me to take them in this situation given that they do not do Hijab.
some of them consider Hijab not necessary and consider headcovering
and normal clothes okay. Kindly guide me to the correct application in
this situation. Would it be ok for me to take my family and cousins
given that they abide by shariat rules and I do not interact with my
cousins and just drive? Jazak Allah
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
If a young man goes out with some of his female relatives who do not
wear Hijaab, then this includes some prohibitions, among which are the
following:
- Getting in the car with them involves seeing their beauty and this
is forbidden according to the agreement of the scholarsunless the
woman is a wife or a female Mahram, as Allaah Says )what means(: }Tell
the believing men to lower their gaze )from looking at forbidden
things(, and protect their private parts )from illegal sexual acts(.
That is purer for them. Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what they
do.{]Quran 24:30[
- Going out with them is like confirming this evil they are doing, and
this is not permissible as it is an obligation to forbid evil as the
Prophetsaid: "Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he should change it
with his hand )i.e. physically(, if he is unable, then he should
change it with his tongue )i.e. verbally( and if he is unable, then he
should change it with his heart )by detesting it in his heart( and
that is the weakest level of faith."]Muslim[ Thus, the
Prophetconsidered changing evil in one's heart as the weakest level of
faith, and denying something with one's heart could only be achieved
by deserting the people who commit sins and staying away from their
company, and it is more confirmed to stay away from them while they
are committing the sin.
- If people see a righteous young man with such girls, they would not
think good of him, and the scholarsclarified that it is an obligation
to stay away from the places of suspicion.
Dear brother, all these disadvantages may happen even when obliging
those girls to abide by the Sharee'ah rulings when dealing with you.
Therefore, we advise you to avoid going out with them, and this is a
very good way of making them feel that what they do is wrong. However,
you should be lenient with your mother and apologize to her in a soft
and gentle manner if she asks you to go out with those girls.
Finally, you should know that the right of Allaah is greater than the
right of anyone else.
Allaah Knows best.
