Employment
Question
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
I have joined a Organisation whose client is a Beer Brewer company, we do not directly work for sales or contribution to it.
Please advise if i can work for this company and get the salary from it. I had committed to pay of my debts to someone from the salary which i draw this month.
Will be it permissible to use the salary for the month and quit the organisation.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
Employment at the company in reference is impermissible since the majority source of income is impermissible. We advise you to consider alternative employment. You may dispense of your current salary in charity if you are not deserving of the funds.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
