Al Jawāb Bi’ounillāh Wa’alayhi at Tuklān.
Woman should stay in the confine of her home. If ever she has to go out, she should be accompanied by the Mahram.
As state by Allāmah Ibn Nujaym Rahimahullah “that a woman can only drive out (i.e car) if there is a dire necessity, that also less than 87km, observing the Sharee Hijaab/Pardah (Ashbāh Wan Nadhāir Page 256)
