The answer

A driver's license is required if the laws of the country stipulate it, and there is no difference in this regard between the Imam and others. If the Imam resorts to deceitful means to obtain money for petrol, then it is not permissible. Similarly, if the donors prohibit the spending of any part of their funds on petrol, their conditions must be adhered to, as it is obligatory to respect the owner's stipulations. However, if none of these conditions apply, there is no objection to the Imam benefiting from those funds in a reasonable manner, spending them on petrol or other needs.
