The Ruling on Reckless Speeding on the Roads

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, we move on to another letter sent by the questioner Ahmad Salim. He says in this question: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on those who speed on the fast roads, resulting in accidents, harm, and reckless driving? What is the ruling on the reckless speed that some people engage in? Is this considered a form of destruction?

Answer:
This is forbidden. Causing the killing of a soul, the killing of people, and the destruction of wealth is prohibited and forbidden. The one who does this commits a sin. He is required to guarantee the consequences of his recklessness. He is required to repent to Allah the Exalted and not return to this recklessness. He is also required to guarantee the destruction of lives and wealth that he caused. He must be disciplined by the authority. He must be disciplined for this recklessness that results in harm to himself and to others.
