Question:

SA,Would it be permissible to drive my friend who is a female and her husband to the airport in my car? The husband would; be sat in the back while I drive and my female friend beside me.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is nothing wrong - Allah willing – in taking your friend and her husband to the airport if they are trustworthy and you are safe from temptation, as the scholars have stated that seclusion is negated by the presence of a trustworthy woman.

Allah knows best.
