The Shaykh:
Is it?
The questioner:
Is it permissible for me to work for a company as a worker making tea, pouring it, and cleaning the offices, knowing that the company manager and most of the employees do not pray?
The Shaykh:
Stay away from them, do not mix with them, seek work with others, seek your livelihood with others. Yes.
The questioner:
Then he says, may Allah preserve you, and if you had previously taken a salary from this company, what should I do with it now?
The Shaykh:
If you took it in exchange for work you did, and it is yours, this is the compensation for your work and your effort, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
