Women driving
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.
