The Ruling on Driving Fast

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, Sabir, says: I hope the Honorable Shaykh will offer advice to those who speed in their cars on the streets, especially in the alleys and on the highways, where lives are lost due to this reckless speed.

Answer:
The one who drives the car must fear Allah for himself first, and then fear Allah for the people and the animals. If he does not drive well, he should not drive the car, lest he destroy himself or destroy someone else. Second, he should not exceed the usual speed, but rather he should restrain himself. He should also stop at the signals and not run them. He must adhere to the traffic regulations. He should not expose himself or the people to destruction, thereby bearing the burden of souls and the responsibility for them, because recklessness in driving, or not driving well, or being in a condition that does not allow him to drive, is dangerous.
Driving is dangerous, and cars are a weapon, a cutting weapon and fire as well, iron and fire. So the driver of the car must feel the obligatory responsibility he has toward himself, toward his brothers, and toward the people's wealth. Yes.
