Helping with taking care of a taxi car, which may be used for something impermissible
Assalamu aleykum
I work as a taxi driver. Sometimes I would pick the opposite gender. I’ve seen that if you are in a place where there is people and it’s day time then it’s okay. That’s were the situation for me, but the women started talk about a man which would have intercourse or something like that with her and she said that she refused. Thus the man begin to hurt her. I didn’t want to talk about that, she just begin talking. It’s the money she gave me haram?
JazakumAllah khairan
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Wa ‘alaykum us-salāmu wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Respected Brother,
It is pleasing to note modesty in you.
The fare she gave you was for the ride, and hence is halal.
An emotional distress could be the reason for behavior.
May Allah Ta’āla keep us in His ﷻ protection and steadfast on Imaan.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
