The Ruling on a Woman Driving a Car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is there any advice for the woman who demands to drive a car in this country?
Answer:
It is not in her best interest that she drives a car. Driving a car, as you know, poses great dangers and harms to drivers and to society. A woman is weak and cannot handle driving a car amidst the traffic and congestion.
A woman is much weaker than a man, so she cannot bear this either. Adding a woman to the car exposes her, exposes her to many prohibitions. Among them is that she will remove her hijab; she cannot maintain her hijab when going out in the car. What is it, what is it? If she is strict at first, she will become lax regarding the hijab. Also, if the car breaks down or gets stuck on the road, or if she encounters an incident, what does she do? She is a weak woman. Does she go to the police or the traffic department? If an accident happens to her, will they take her to prison and detain her? A woman? Or does she go and harm people and say, "This is a woman"? No. This is chaos. It is not permissible for a woman to say, "I am eager."
This is not in her interests. Also, if she is given the car and the car keys, she goes out from the authority of her guardian. She is a woman with emotions, and the wicked exploit her through mobile phones and the internet, luring her. There is no obstacle left before her except that she takes the car and leaves. She gets up from her sleep, takes the car, and leaves. So, who refuses the wicked man who lured her and called her? And she is a woman far away. This contains great harms, great harms. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to drive a car because of these dangers and others. Yes.
