Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from France, and he says: We are young men residing in France, and we are upright upon the way of the Salaf al-Salih (the earliest generations). We have turned to seeking a livelihood, but we cannot find work that is free from violations of the Shari'ah. So what is your guidance, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
You should fear Allah the Exalted and Majestic to the best of your ability.
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
If you fear Allah to the extent of your ability, then Allah does not burden you with what you cannot do. Yes.
