Dought & Clear, - He cannot walk to the mosque because it is very cold; can he drive there even though he has not got his full driver’s license and that may cause him problemswith the law?.

I am a student, living in Canada and temperaturehere is very cold now,
near 0C. There is a mosque here which is about 8 minutes
walkingdistance from my home. I have a car and I have a"learner
licence" and I need to wait for about 6 months to get a full licence.
The law here is that, If I want to drive with "learner licence", then
someone who has a"full licence" should sit beside me in the car.
I want to pray Fazr in mosque and go there by driving because it is
verydifficult to walk in these cold days. Also, the roadsare empty in
Fazr time.
My question is, if I drive to mosque alone, then I am breaking the
law. Should I go to mosque or pray Fazr in home?
Praise be to Allah.
If the matter is as you describe, and you cannot find anyone to take
you to the mosque even in return for payment that you can afford, then
this is an excuse that permits you not to attend the prayer in
congregation, and there is no blame on you, in sha Allah.
But if you know that youhave the skills in driving and are able to do
that, and you are certain that no harm will result to you or anyone
else from your driving on your own to the mosque, and the delay in
obtaining your licence is only because of general administrative rules
that require you to wait for the period mentioned, with no exceptions
for anybody – if the situation is as we have described, then we do not
think that there is anything wrong, in sha Allah, with you driving the
car by yourself for this short distance so that you can attend the
prayer in congregation.
But we still do not think that you have to do that.
And Allah knows best. - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
