mashaALLAH. Then follow what that scholar said and stop shopping around for fatawa.

Why would research or curiosity constitute 'shopping around'?

Assalaam alaikum........

You need a driving license

i have one-i passed a month ago

but why wud i choose cabbing as a job-esp since there are more than enough other options available to me

also i don't want to be part of dropping off or picking up drunk men to/frm the pub

i'm not in a situation in which i can regard "cabbing a neccessity" for money

Congratulation sister, I suppose your on the hunt for a new car? Welcome to the world of gridlock and constant traffic jams not to forget car maintenance cost.......

whenever i catch a taxi the driver is usually a Paki

why is cabbing so prevailent amongst the asian community?

why do people look down at canb drivers

also despite so many Paki's being into cabbing-how come you hardly see them driving pricy black cabs?

Not necessarily if you go to majority of areas in the UK the taxi drivers will be white, its only in asian areas you tend to see alot of apnay into taxi driving.

People look down on cab drivers coz they have the stereotype that mangy's drive them who cant speak english.

they work hard for their money.

My uncles and other relations do that aswell. My mom doesnt find it amusing but cracks us up.

Plus one of the bonuses is that drunks often leave their wallets/fones in the car :twisted: .

Yeah they leave mobile phones and wallets etc (spoils of cabbing lol)

Then they come back the next they when they have some awsh (sense)

and ask the base if they have found their mobile phones and the taxi drivers look at them with blank faces lol

Its a grimey job

Minicab drivers are abused (verbally and physically) by some people who argue about their fare.

My dad knew someone who got stabbed by a man when he asked him for the fare....he's disabled now.

Yes ive heard many tragic stories like that. Not so long ago a pakistani taxi driver was stabbed and murdered by some white thugs. They didn't pay and they ran off then he chased them unfotunately they all turned around and jumped him and killed him.
Ive heard many other stories where one pakistani taxi driver was tied up to his own taxi and the evil white thugs drove off with him hanging off, unfortunately he was killed too.

The problem stems from racist fanatical terrorist that terrorise coloured people.

Allah sees all and the murderers will eventually die and meet their creator where they will be severley punished for their crimes.

And the victims who were only doing their job who had wifes and children will inshallah go to heaven because they were martyr'd.

When i hear stories like this i understand why God created hell, where these evil shaytaan's belong, for eternity.

My prayers go out to all their families.

I'd be itching for some nf to try it on with me. Release some tension.

On the other hand some of the funny stories from my uncles involve customers being physically talked to by my relatives. :twisted:

My uncle tells me that when a customer can't pay for their fare they often leave their perfectly working mobile or watch then blag it they are gonna go in and get some money, but dont come out. I mean why do that thats just stupid why leave youre phone with them and run off.

Based on personal experience, I’ve found that there are many differences between taxis’ run by Pakistani’s and English Cab drivers…

Yesterday we asked some Pakistani cab driver to pick up family from Heathrow, he was 30min late in picking up the passengers when he was called up on his mobile he said “what’s the friggin deal if the passengers have to wait for 30min”

Yesterday I had to catch a cab somewhere and English driver was parked up outside my home 30min before his time and didn’t knock on my door until it was time…

When sitting in a cab with an English driver they are more likely to have a navigation system which tells them where to go….Pakistani drivers usually park up, pull out their A-Z, yell at YOU for not knowing the way or will call up their mates.

And the main difference is that, an English driver will charge you £120 to get you from A-B whilst a Pakistani driver will charge you £50 for the same route…

These are just some of my generalisations based on personal experiences…
