Forming a lift club with female passengers

Q: Is it permissible for a Muslim male to form a lift club to work from Overport to Phoenix with 2 passengers, one being a male and the other a female whereby the costs are split. The male is Muslim and female is non Muslim? So total passengers in car are 3. Driver male, and passengers 1 female and 1 male.

A: It is more safe for his deen that he only transports male passengers.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
