Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 698/697=D)

It is wajib on young woman to cover her face from non-mahram men:

Q. I started wearing hijaab close to a year ago and recently got married to a practicing muslim who is also mashaAllah a good husband. I alo started wearing niqaab soon after my marriage. before my marriage i used to drive whenever i had to go out, but never with any non-mahram. It is quite a harassment for women to go out hunting for autos to go anywhere and it becomes a helpless situation and waste of time if autowaalas dont agree to take you to your destination.but now after marriage my husband is not very happy with the idea of me driving anywhere. i have stopped driving since my marriage, but i have to go out with my mother who is elderly or anywhere short distance without my husband it has become a real tension and i have become immobile. i also have a back ache problem which gets aggravated if i travel in auto. i want to know if on rare occasions, it is ok for me to drive short distances with my mahrams in sucha situation. isnt this better than get into fitnah situation with talking with autowaalas or 2 ladies walking long distances on the road? 2222 views
