I embraced Islam a few years ago - praise be to Allah - and I work as
a bus driver in London. I am happy with this job because I like to
drive buses, but I am not happy in other ways, because of the adverts
and pictures that are puton the bus. Sometimes they are pictures of
semi-naked women, or pictures of alcoholic drinks and haraam movies.
All of that is displayed in front of people and promotes those evil
things. What isthe ruling on a job like this? I feel that I am
contributing to the spread of evil and temptation, but the matter is
not under my control because I am justa driver. Moreover it is not
easy to find another job that is suitable for me as a Muslim in this
country if I leave this job.
I hope that you can advise me; may Allah reward you with good for your
efforts and forgive you in this worldand in the Hereafter. Ameen.
Praise be to Allaah.
We praise Allah, may He be exalted, for having guided you to Islam and
we ask Him, may He be glorified and exalted, to make you steadfast in
Islam and to increase you in guidance.
We appreciate your concern about what is halaal and asking about the
ruling on your work,and we ask Allah to make good easy for you and to
reward you, and to help you to avoid evil and sin.
With regard to your job, what appears to be the case is that it is not
permissible to work as the driver of a bus that carries adverts on its
side for sinful matters that incur punishment, such as ads for alcohol
and immoral activities. Working as a driver is not separate from those
advertisements that are on the bus he is driving. Based on that, it
may truly be said concerning his job that it is helping to promote
those immoral actions and haraam things, so this is helping in sin
which Allah, may He be exalted,has forbidden in the verse
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness
and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And
fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment"
[al-Maa'idah 5:2].
You should understand that Allah, may He be exalted, has not
restricted halaal means of earning a living and permissible work. And
you should also understand that whoever gives up something for the
sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better than
it.Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a
way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
3. And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine"
[al-Talaaq 65:2-3].
We ask Allah to make it easy for you to find a good and blessed halaal
source of provision.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
