الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما ومنه الصدق والصواب

A: As a male driving instructor, it is permissible to teach non-mahram  female students with two fundamental conditions.  Firstly, that the female student observes the rules of hijab.  Secondly, there is a third person in the car as it will not be possible to avoid seclusion with a non-mahram.  If either of the two conditions is absent, it will not be permitted for you to teach the non-mahram female student.
