We are concluding this session, Shaykh Salih, with this call. Please, Adnan, quickly. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy. Peace and Allah's mercy. You have been gracious. My question, Shaykh, regarding violating traffic regulations, such as running a red light or exceeding the speed limit, is there a sin in that? And the second question is regarding a woman in ihram? All right. Asr, Asr.
Answer:
My brother, be patient. Be patient, may Allah guide you. The first question: it is not permissible to violate traffic regulations, because this involves danger, it is disobedience to the one in authority, and it causes harm to others.
