Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask you, O your Eminence, to direct a word to the guardians who allow their adult daughters to ride motorcycles?
Answer:
Answer: This is not permissible. It is not permissible for a woman, especially a young woman, to ride a motorcycle that reveals her body and causes her to imitate men. A woman must preserve herself and protect her modesty, and riding a motorcycle will inevitably result in some of her body being exposed. She is commanded to cover herself, be modest, and maintain decency. Therefore, it is not permissible for her guardian to allow her to do this. She may also fall off the motorcycle, exposing her 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) and putting herself at risk of harm.
