Fatwa – Are women allowed to drive?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulihsan.com

A:

It is permissible for women to drive when there is a genuine need, provided they adhere to the laws of Sharia and in particular the regulations of hijaab. However this is not something that is encouraged due to the fitnah and dangers that are associated.
