The answer

It is forbidden to transport disobedient individuals to places where they disobey Allah, such as places of fornication and taverns. Whoever does so becomes a partner in sin and transgression, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: (And do not cooperate in sin and aggression). Whoever has done this must repent, seek forgiveness, feel remorse, and resolve not to return to it. A Muslim must condemn evil, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart—and that is the weakest of faith). It is not permissible for a Muslim to intentionally commit what is forbidden in order to acquire money.
