Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some drivers drive at a crazy speed that may harm others and passersby. Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on this speed?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is forbidden, because he exposes himself to danger and exposes others to danger as well. Excessive speed beyond the limit set by traffic regulations is not permissible, because it exposes a person and others to danger and destruction. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:[Al-Baqarah 2:195] Yes.

and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]
وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
