Question:
Salam Alaikum. Please ask a question to Shaykh for me:
I work as a taxi driver so does picking up people too and from pubs & clubs, does this come under haram income? Is it permissible to work & earn a living like this in the evening work if daytime work is not so busy?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
It is not haram to do certain things such as picking up customers from pubs and clubs if it’s against your will. You should, however, prefer working during the day. The day is for work and night is to rest and worship.
