Khalwa refers to a situation where a man and a woman who are not mahram are alone together in a private space, which could potentially lead to indecent behavior. An elevator typically fits this criterion since the doors are closed and the space is confined during the lift. However, if the elevator is a glass one, as found in some shopping malls and buildings, where the occupants are visible to others, it would generally not be considered khalwa.\\n\\nRemember that the rules pertaining to khalwa are there to also protect women from sexual harassment and abuse. Elevators can be vulnerable spaces where crimes, including sexual harassment or assault, may occur.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c23283a","tag":"Contemporary Life: Other","count":137},{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232779","tag":"Women: Modesty","count":60},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327b5","tag":"Men: Modesty","count":37}],"createdOn":"2024-09-30T18:08:56.507Z"}
