The title of this thread is wrong. It should be 'Saudi Arabian women not allowed to drive!'.

The prohibition on women drivers have nothing to do with Islam in that country. It is purely due to their culture and nothing else.

And I'm Christian, before y'all start bashing me.

But isn't Saudi their 'holy land'? Where they go for haj? Where they face when they pray? Shouldn't things there be 'perfect' and set precedence to the way things should be in other muslim territories?

Or is it another typical islam habit of 'Do as I say, not as I do'?

@B.Timer here was the answer thread #8.
You must have started this thread and went to sleep, otherwise how did you miss that reply? Or you want an answer from someone else not me?

As regards driving, women in Islam have a right to move, to go out, for their needs. And if there is need for them to drive, the society has to provide safe & secure environment for them.

Of course, in some places they have not allowed them to drive because they are afraid that women may encounter difficulty and some problem.
Not because Islam forbids them. That is only there for their own circumstances, only for their own social structure that they forbid that.
For example, in China, women are not allowed to ride motorbikes. Did you know that? And do you agree with that? May be not. So you realized that it is their own circumstances, and they know better why.

You know most of the Muslim countries have not forbidden women from driving. They do drive. Nobody says it is forbidden or it is haram in Islam.

Just understand that in some areas at certain times, people may do that. You may agree with them or you may not agree with them. But that's their own particular circumstance, but it has nothing to do with shariah or Islamic law.

Shariah law is universal law.
And universal law has not forbiden anybody from driving, as long as that person knows how to drive, and vehicle is in right condition and those road rules.

So I hope this is clear to all concerned.

Assuming your view to be correct, then in that case Saudi Arabia should not explain the ban as informed by religion.
