The ruling on working as a bus driver transporting female students and delaying the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am a bus driver for transporting female students, and they leave at the time of the midday prayer call. What should I do? Is it permissible for me to delay the prayer until one-thirty?
Answer:
We advise you not to drive the students or the teachers, and to stay away from women. Seek your livelihood in something else; because if you are traveling with them, this is forbidden. Without mahrams (relatives one may not marry), it is not permissible. If you are within the city, you are also not safe from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and from delaying the prayer, and from... Seek your livelihood in a way other than this. Yes.
