Is money earned from transporting people without a taxi license permissible, and is it permissible to continue this work, knowing that obtaining the license requires presenting a "mujahid" document or paying large sums of money to the mujahidin?
It is not permissible to work as a taxi driver without a license, because it is considered prohibited deception and forgery due to its violation of regulating laws, as Allah Almighty says: "So avoid the uncleanness of idols and avoid false statement" (Quran 22:30), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives is not one of us." However, the money earned from this work is lawful due to the nature of the work itself.
