Re: Women driving, is it halal?

@yeswekhan

Considering that Islam tells women not to leave their houses unless accompanied by mehrams, does that make it haraam for a woman to drive on her own? Have the Saudis got it right? Well I’d say they have, it’s like killing two birds with one stone, you’re shariah compliant AND you have a lot less dangerous drivers on the road.

I guess the indian pakistani drivers that take those arbeeyan to places are mahrams, just like how saudi men selling undies to their women is halal as well.

Only in sooodi arabia. Ma’ashallah subhanallah jazak allah khair.

@ShahreyarKhan

lets get this straight

Generally, it is impermissible for a woman to travel the distance of three days (equivalent to 48 miles) without her husband or a Mahram (unmarriageable kin) accompanying her.
There are many clear narrations of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) in this regard.

1. Sayyiduna Abu Sa�id al-Khudri (mayAllah be pleased with him)  narrates that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him & give him  peace) said: �Let no woman travel for more than three days unless her  husband or a Mahram is with her�. (Sahih Muslim).
   

2. Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates  that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace)  said: �A woman must not travel for three days except with a Mahram�.  (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 1036 & Sahih Muslim).
   

3. Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that  the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: �It  is unlawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the last day that she  travels the distance of one day and one night without a Mahram  accompanying her�. (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 1038).
   

4. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the  Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: �'A  woman must not travel except with a Mahram and a man must not enter upon  her except if she has a Mahram�. (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 1763).
   

I ain’t trying to bill maher or something, but the list top to bottom basically contradicts each other.

Btw, happy driving ladies.
