Q: As a sober driver, we have to pick up the drunk people and drive them home as well as their car. In this job, 2 people are required, so there must be a partner, so one will drive our own car and the other will drive the car of the drunk person as well as the drunk person. Is a Sober Driver Job Halal or Haram?
A: In my opinion, of course it is halal to be a driver. I think you are actually doing an act of charity because you are driving them home safely. Maybe, you are even saving their life by getting them to their destination! Remember that in the Qur’an it states, The Quran verse about saving a life is 5:32, which states, “And whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind”. May Allah (swt) guide you and all to the straight path! Ameen.
