Essential insights into marital and interpersonal conduct based on Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's rulings
Is a woman permitted to learn driving with a male driving instructor?
Some say it is forbidden for a woman to drive a vehicle, but their words are not correct according to halacha. However, even those who permit women to drive do not allow a woman to learn driving with a male instructor, but only with a female instructor [Responsa of the Rishon LeZion 2, p. 445].
Is it permissible to receive change from a female seller?
According to the basic law, it is permissible to take change from a female seller, and likewise it is permissible for a woman to receive change from a male seller, since there is no affectionate touching involved.
Nevertheless, it is proper and correct to avoid this and place the change on the counter.
