Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people say that the scholars' rulings prohibiting women from driving cars were from a previous era, and that the time has changed, with new circumstances, and the matter is open to discussion.
Answer:
The rulings of the Shari'ah do not change with the change of times and places. The prohibition of women driving cars was established because of the harms that result from it, and these harms do not disappear with the difference of times or places. The harms exist, so the prohibition remains; they cannot be removed. Yes.
