A MUSLIM taxi driver refused to give a lift to a disabled woman's dog – because he thought it broke the rules of Ramadan.
The cabbie told the woman to use the cab parked behind his as he thought he was barred from carrying the dog for religious reasons.
He was later issued with 12 penalty points following the incident, which happened in August 2013.
The driver, who we can only identify from the name used in council papers as K, was so confused by the incident he contacted his Imam to ask for advice on what he should have done.
He was told by the Imam that he should have given the woman and her dog a lift – as he could have atoned for any breach of Ramadan's rules after the event. [East Grinstead Courier and Observer] Read more
