Do those sites allow women to drive? Islam qa is against women driving and I find the whole site sexist

even if one disagrees with a certain scholar's opinions using terms such as "sexist" is unfair to describe them. just because we disagree with someone is no excuse to use degrading terms for them.

scholars issue opinions to the best of their ability, for the benefit of the populace, and shaykh salih al-munajjadis a good scholar, not withstanding differences i would have with him over the typical fiqh issues and taqleed. it is the job of a scholar to stand up for what they believe is the most correct opinion and present it to the populace, even if the opinion is unpopular.

besides if i can remember islamqa doesn't condemn women driving as being haram however it does not condemn saudi for having that law (these are two different issues) and of course encourages women to follow the law when in saudi.
