What is the ruling on riding in taxis or buses that travel at excessive speeds?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling on driving a car at excessive speed follows the level of danger. It is forbidden if there is a fear of perishing, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction." It is not forbidden if there is no fear of perishing, such as when the speed is in an empty place and the driver is skilled and competent.
