Question:
Some people, and some young men—may Allah guide them—speed at a mad pace in the streets, harming pedestrians who are going to the mosques or to their work. What is the ruling on this speeding?
Answer:
The answer: This is not permissible, because it involves frightening people and exposing oneself and others to danger. Therefore, speeding while driving is not permissible, and frightening people is not permissible. Rather, the Muslim should be gentle with himself and gentle with people.
