Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a woman to drive a car?
The Shaykh : If it is permissible for her to drive a donkey, then it is permissible for her to drive a car. Is there anyone who says it is not permissible? Is there anyone who says it is not permissible for her to drive a donkey? No, no one has said that. But the opposite was said.
Another questioner : Our Shaykh, what is the difference between "drive" and "operate"?
The Shaykh : And which is more modest?
Another questioner : Drive.
The Shaykh : Drive what? The car or the donkey? The donkey? May Allah guide you.
