Is it allowed for me as a woman to thank the taxi driver?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
Originally, the relationship between a woman and a man who is not her husband, nor is he a Mahram is respect and modesty. There is no need to talk to a taxi driver or any other man. However, if a woman wants to thank a taxi driver, she can do that provided that she observes politeness and modesty.
