Is it permissible for a 17-year-old to drive a car to the mosque without a driving license, with the consent of his parents and in a safe agricultural area, knowing that he poses no danger and fears losing devotion or delaying the prayer if he does not go to the mosque?

The answer

The basic principle is the obligation to adhere to regulations, including not driving a car without a license. However, for someone who needs to drive in a remote, uncrowded place, is skilled at driving, and cannot obtain a license, there may be no blame upon them. Nevertheless, it is safer not to drive without a license to avoid legal accountability.
