Question:
Will it be permissible for a woman who is fully covered to ride a bicycle? Are there any rulings that say that it is prohibited for women to ride a bicycle as it can expose the body shape? Will wearing a loose abaya and long scarf not suffice? Jazakumullahu Khayr. _ Answer: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Women
should not ride a bicycle for fun and leisure. Yes, if a woman has a real need
to go somewhere and she has no means of transport besides a bicycle, then it
will be permissible for her to go to that place on a bicycle provided that she
covers herself properly and that she does not travel 77 km or more without a
male mahram. في الدر
