Muslim cleric: Women who go shopping have small brains

Saad al-Hier has been suspended from all religious activities after preaching not to allow women to drive, broadcast Express.

The highly conservative Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that prohibits women from driving the vehicle, despite the government's ambitious intentions to increase the role of women in public, especially in the workplace.

In a video identifying him as head of the department for religious decrees in the southern province, Hijiri asked what the traffic department would do if a man with only half a brain discovered him.

Would he give the driver his license? No. So how can you give it to a woman who has only half a brain, he said.

If she goes to the market and loses another piece. What's left? A quarter. we ask the traffic department to check because it is not suitable to drive and it has only one quarter/x1>, he said.
