Is it permissible for a woman to buy a car with her own money and learn to drive, despite her husband's refusal on the pretext of her inability to learn?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The husband does not have the right to prevent his wife from buying a car with her own money, but he can prevent her from going out with it if it causes him moral or material harm. It is permissible for her to learn driving without any religious impediment, but the husband can prevent her from going out for this purpose unless with his permission.
