A_cabaas | Unrecorded Date Answer : Praise be to Allaah. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No man is ever alone with a woman (khulwah) but the Shaytaan is the third one with them.” (Reported by Ahmad and by al-Tirmidhi in his Sunan, 2091; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 2546). Allaah says in the story of Yoosuf, peace be upon him (interpretation of the meaning): “And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), she closed the doors and said, ‘Come on, O you’…” [Yoosuf 12:23] It is not permitted for a man to be alone with a woman to whom he is not related, whether this is in a house, office, clinic, elevator, car or any other place, because this may be the cause of him doing something haraam. Shaytaan is keen to tempt people and make them fall into haraam deeds. The fuqaha’ are agreed that khulwah or being alone with a woman to whom one is not related is forbidden. They said: “No man should be alone with a woman who is not his mahram (a close relative to whom marriage is forbidden) or his wife, but is a stranger to him, because the Shaytaan will whisper to them and tempt them to do something that is not permitted. (Al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 19/267) It is not permitted for a man to be alone with a non-mahram woman even if he is teaching her Qur’aan, or to lead her in prayer if only the two of them are present. The guideline regarding khulwah is that this prohibition applies in any situation where their figures are hidden from other people (Fath al-Baari, 9/333). A taxi driver is bound to pass through empty streets or highways, and the structure of the car conceals most of the body of a person riding in it. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a forbidden conversation will not take place, or that there will not be an agreement to do something forbidden. How many tragedies and painful stories and disasters have occurred because of a driver being alone with a female passenger! The wise sharee’ah of Islam has taken all precautions to avoid anything that may lead to wrongdoing. It is essential to completely avoid any situation where a man and woman who are not related may be alone together. A taxi driver should not accept a female passenger who is alone, except in cases of emergency such as accidents and the like. And Allaah is the Source of strength. |

Asha Ahmed | Unrecorded Date SALAAMU ALAYKUM BROTHER A_CABAAS, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO READ YOUR PAGE, BUT AREN'T THERE EXCEPTIONS IN THE MUSLIM RELIGION. YOU SAID IT IS HARAM FOR A MALE TAXI DRIVER TO ACCEPT A FEMALE PASSENGER. NOW THAT USING COMMON SENCE THERE AREN'T THAT MANY FEMALE TAXI DRIVERS, THEREFORE; WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD TAKE A FEMALE PASSENGER IF SHE NEEDS TO GET SOMEWHERE, URGENT OR NON URGENT. I AM A MUSLIM BORN FEMALE, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I DON'T AGREE WITH IN THE MUSLIM RELIGION, BUT I KNOW I SHOULDN'T CHASE THE RELIGION. BUT HOW DO WE DEAL WITH SUCH THINGS AS THE ONE YOU JUST WROTE ABOUT. |

TrueSomali | Unrecorded Date You guys, why are u in kufaar country then, why don't u go back to your own country or Saudi arabia (i hope they will not Tarxiil you). now you saying women can't take taxi alone or hard working man can't drive taxi, GIVE ME A BREAK. please don't give anymore headache to your sisters, moms and other women. |
Nasrullahi | Unrecorded Date thank you for the very informative piece of writing. and may allah bless you and give you it's share of khayr. But i would just like to add one little thing to this challenging question. wouldn't it be very difficult for a women living alone, working, or going to school to go about doing her business. It's a harsh reality to know that times have changed and women aren't just at home raising children. they now have jobs and things of things of the such. anyways my brothers and sisters in muslim, my point is that times have changes and we should try our very best to follow the Allah's words. |
Candhaf | Unrecorded Date To: Xaqdoon, Walaal adiga waxaa kaa khaldan meesha diinta islaamka laga soo qaato.

Aakhiro waxaa lagu waydiinayaa maxaad rasuulka ugu jawaabteen ee maaha maxaad shuyuukhda ugu jawaabteen.

Anonymous | Unrecorded Date YOU SHOULD ALL BE HAPPY ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND FEAR GOD BROTHERS AND SITERS. AND DO WHAT GOD SAID TO DO. STOP BEING ALL THAT IN A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT OURS...... OK! REMEMBER YOU ARE SEVANTS OF ALLAH(ADOON) |
MAD MAC | Unrecorded Date Earth to Religous nuts, come in over. Now you can't drive taxis. You've got to be kidding me!!! And while you're at it, consider that what Mohammed really meant when he said "Fear Allah" is not to be afraid, but to respect him. Like you respect your father. Allah is a loving God, not a vengeful one. If he were vengeful then he would not be good. You're all getting to hung up around the idea that illicit sex is a heinous offense. Killing innocent people is a heinous offense and Somalis have been doing that for generations. This is a FAR GREATER SIN in the eyes of Allah. Sex is minor league in comparison. Inshallah you will one day understand that. |
Iman | Unrecorded Date Well it is not Halah becouse you are a guy and she is a girl and you are a human bieng. When you look at her the "Shaitan" might make you feel something else even though you think you can control it. |
MAD MAC | Unrecorded Date So there's this Somali taxi driver in New York city and Madeleine Albright (US Sec State) gets in and wants a ride to the United Nations. "So I told the bitch, git outta da' cab. I ain't drivin' ya to no UN. Then I went to an anti-US rally sponsored by Iraq. I tell ya, we Somalis know how ta handle dem bums." |
NICMO | Unrecorded Date THIS IS 4 MAD MAC. Please try to use your own words and dont try to talk like other people. And be your ownself. coz u ain't DA BOMB. |
MAD MAC | Unrecorded Date NICMO It's a joke dude. A play on the joisey accent. Can't you kinda picture it? I dunno, I thought it was funny. How bout this one. Ayatollah Khomeini after his demise wakes up hanging from a trident and looking into the face of a giant satan and he says "wait a minute, this isn't paradise." And the satan says "No, and I'm not an American." |
Anonymous | Unrecorded Date u can't practise islam in parts . one has to diside either to be muslim not.one can't completly practise islam in non islamic enviroment,be it socialy,economically or politically.so my advise is be sincerely to Allah[s.wa]'s commands and religion.why discuss about taxi, when there is more dangerous haram with in the muslim communities.u talk about taxi when at the same time you support your warloads and your tribes.first clean your hearts, then that of your family then the taxi issue will solve it self. |
AMAL:: :: | Unrecorded Date thank you very much brother for doing what you are doing for us and may GOD forgive you and the others and peace be upon all of us. TO: w/salan everyone my names amal and i'm 20 years of age,i came to the western when i was a little girl. i can't speak very good somali language but my family has been teaching me so i know much now but not that much and it takes me almost a hour to write one sentence in somali. i never went to school to learn somali 'cause i had to help my mother around the house and i got a lot brothers and sisters so she couldn't handle by her self all that so that 's why i never went to sckool to learn my own language. some of us or the young generation don't know somali .and absolutely have no idea about a lot of things about islam/muslim like my self. i'm calling my self muslim but i'm really not. you see, i don't go on dates or parties. i don't even go to somali parties. i never had a boyfriend and not planing eighter. honestly i don't do a lot of things most girls do but on the other hand i don't do a lot of thing muslims do eighter.i don't know what i am but as a muslim ,i don't really think that i am one. just because i don't do a lot of things i should be doing,most of them is because i don't know what they are or how to do them correctly. now i wanted to answer to some of you who said that you coudn't understand what our brother over here was saying in english so you asked him to translate in somali.when you actually said this did any of you think about those ones who don't know somali? think about it those of us who don't know somali are mostly the ones who borned in the western where our religion is so little and the ones who came when they were babies or little. now those of you who don't know english are mostly those who came to the western when you were adults and ones who had no time/money to learn english. those of you who don't know english came from were the religion and the culture were improtant than anything on earth,so you already know the religion and what you suppost to do- however don't you really think that those ones who have no idea about the religion should have a chance to know and do the right things ? we,who don't know the culture and the religion should know and you have to help us all the way 'cause that's the only way you can learn something.most guys/ppl complain that we western girls/guys like western guys/girls more than our own or that we western girls/guys do the western things and it's culture.but seriously has it occur to anyone this on e simple word ?which is "WHY" . i'm sorry if i hurt anyone 's feelings but i just boosted what i tought was right-you can agree with me or disagree. is all where your view point is . TO:BROTHER I'VE LEARN SO MUCH THAT I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE ,THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN AND KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK!!! :) GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! |
