Q: Is it true that in the Hadith Allah Ta'ala curses women who ride horses? If yes, how authentic is the Hadith and what is the ruling of this Hadith according to the Fuqaha? What about ladies driving? Does this Hadith apply to them also here? (i.e. driving)

A: 

  1. On account of the abundant wrongs that are associated with horse riding, the Ulama have prevented women from horse riding. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/717
  2. Our Ulama have discouraged women from driving.
  3. The status of the Hadith in question has been explained in the kitaabs of Hadith. Refer to Nasbur Raya and the takhreej of the ahaadith of Hidaaya for a detailed explanation.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
