What is the perspective of scholars regarding a Shia youth choosing to become an airline pilot, considering the potential drawbacks like interaction with non-Mahrams, loneliness, and pressures from crew during layovers, against the benefits?
The Islamic rules are unchangeable no matter what is the nature of the work. Every work which involves sinful act or causes missing an obligatory act, is not permissible. Airline pilot who believes in Islam must keep himself away from any sinful act and perform the obligatory prayers within its timings.
Wassalam.
