The Ruling on Working in Serving Pork and Intoxicants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: The questioner is from outside this country. He says: I live in Germany and I am trying to find work. I have found a job, which is serving pork and intoxicants in a restaurant. Is this work permissible for me?
The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah. No, it is not permissible. Seek your livelihood in something other than this.[At-Talaq 65:2-3] Yes.
The questioner:
Then he asks, may Allah preserve you and protect you: What if I were to serve them to disbelievers and not to Muslims?
The Shaykh:
Even if you do not serve disbelievers and do not serve them pork and what is forbidden, this is not permissible. Yes.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُThe questioner:
