What is the ruling on an unmarried young man working as a taxi driver for an app, where women often ride with him alone, and he feels anxious fearing falling into temptation or committing something forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a Muslim fears temptation for himself or falling into something unlawful, it is not permissible for him to be alone with women in a car, even if it leads to him leaving his job.
