Is transporting passengers—a taxi driver—to or from places like bars or brothels forbidden (haram)? And what is the Muslim's duty in this situation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Transporting people to brothels or places of corruption is considered cooperation in sin and aggression, and one should avoid that. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out." So, seek another job if your current one necessitates something forbidden. However, if you are unaware of their intention, then the wage is not unlawful.
