Women driving

· 22 Shawwal 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it haraam for females to drive? If yes, will it also be haraam to sit in the car whilst a woman is driving?

Answer

On account of the abundant fithnah and immorality prevalent everywhere, our Ulama have discouraged women from driving.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
