Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 875
It is unlawful for a man and a woman who are not maḥram[1] to be in a secluded place together if there is a probability of a sin taking place. And the recommended precaution is that [in such a situation] they should not perform prayers there.
