Is it permissible for a Muslim to work as a taxi driver, knowing that he will be transporting customers to forbidden places such as bars, nightclubs, brothels, and churches, and with the occurrence of reprehensible acts inside the car (such as kissing, drinking alcohol, and carrying dogs) without the ability to change them?

It is permissible for a man to work as a taxi driver, provided that he does not make his car a means for committing forbidden acts, and he does not allow anyone to commit a sin in it. He must prioritize pleasing Allah over pleasing customers.
