Please advise whether I can do contractual work, for retail supermarkets such as Pick and Pay, Checkers, etc.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

According to our understanding, if your work entails staff training for retail supermarkets, which requires that all the individuals in the training are thoroughly taught and competent in fulfilling their responsibilities, then the earnings from such a job will be halal. The supermarkets selling some items of haram will not affect the halal status of your income.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

(قوله وحمل خمر ذمي) قال الزيلعي: وهذا عنده وقالا هو مكروه " لأنه - عليه الصلاة والسلام - «لعن في الخمر عشرة وعد منها حاملها» وله أن الإجارة على الحمل وهو ليس بمعصية، ولا سبب لها وإنما تحصل المعصية بفعل فاعل مختار
