Question
Whilst The Majlis says that women are not allowed to drive, I have seen the wife of a prominent Maulana driving. What is wrong if our wives also follow the example of the wife of the pious Maulana who is a senior in the community? We can always make taubah.
Answer
Your deeds and the deeds of the Maulana and of his wife are not our concern. Your deeds and your taubah are between yourself and Allah Ta'ala. Our duty is only to deliver the Message of Allah's Law. The haraam deeds of the prominent Maulana's wife are not the Shariah. If you are a Muslim, you have to follow Allah's Shariah, not the 'shariah' of the nafs of Maulanas and their wives.
