Do those who engage in street racing fall under the ruling of hirabah (armed robbery and brigandage)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Do those who engage in street racing fall under the verse concerning hirabah (armed robbery and brigandage)? Because they have extinguished souls, frightened the safe, and caused corruption on earth?

Answer:
No, this is an excessive severity. They are not among those who cause corruption on earth, nor are they among those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger. Rather, they are among those who play around. This is mere play.
