A Woman Driving a Car in Western Countries

Question:
Please proceed. Shaykh, regarding the previous question, there is a comment on it. For example, regarding a woman driving a car, we know that many of our brothers, when they go there, find that they are forced to allow their family members to drive. Some scholars have previously issued a ruling permitting this. To what extent is this statement credible?

Answer:
We have heard the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) . A Muslim is a Muslim in any place. If driving a car is not permissible here, then it is not permissible there. That is, the legal ruling does not change. We told you that legal rulings do not change. If a woman driving is not permissible because it requires her to uncover her hijab, and because it exposes the woman to road accidents and traffic inquiries, and she is a weak woman, and a sinner may covet her, then the ruling does not change. It is not permissible for a woman to drive here, so it is not permissible there. Yes.
