What is the ruling on working for a passenger transport company that has established and leased a commercial center containing a cinema that screens prohibited films?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the driver's work is limited to transporting passengers and has no connection to forbidden matters, then it is permissible. The evidence for this is that the Companions during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, used to work and hire themselves out to Jews, even though their wealth was mixed with both lawful and unlawful earnings. The Prophet, peace be upon him, did not forbid dealing with them; rather, he responded to their invitations, ate their food, and conducted transactions with them, and he died with his shield mortgaged to a Jew.
