Is it permissible for a traffic officer to issue a ticket to a driver whose car has one headlight off while the other is on, and are regulations applied literally or by analogy?

Adhering to traffic laws and regulations preserves lives and properties, which is one of the objectives of Islamic Sharia. Imposing fines on violators falls under the category of financial ta'zir (discretionary punishment). The majority of scholars have prohibited it, while some have permitted it. It is obligatory to abide by the regulations governing work as long as they do not violate Sharia. Questions regarding problematic issues should be directed to specialists. It is advisable to be gentle with people and facilitate matters for them, except in cases that endanger their safety.
