Is it permissible for a woman to drive a bus?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The fundamental role of a woman is to care for her home and raise her children, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And abide in your homes." It is forbidden for her to be in seclusion with non- men or to travel without a mahram, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: "No man should be in seclusion with a woman, and no woman should travel except with a mahram."
