The Ruling on Risking Oneself and One’s Family in Dangerous Places and Floods

Question:
Also, a questioner asks about a matter: Some people, especially during times of construction, flee with themselves and their families and descend into dangerous places or cross roads that have been cut off by the flood. This negligence may result in the anger of Allah, or their being captured, or exposure to harm for everyone in such times, especially when it rains?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to take risks or enter places of danger, rain, or floods. A person should stay away from places of danger and not risk himself, his family, or his Muslim brothers, even if they are not his relatives. He must avoid places of danger and protect himself, his children, and his brothers. He should take the necessary measures. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) will protect him if he takes the measures. If he is negligent, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) may subject him to harm because of his negligence and because of his disobedience. Yes.
