The ruling on working in a place where pork is sold

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We return to our brother Nawaf from Jeddah. Go ahead, Nawaf, with your question. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings, O Shaykh. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Hello.

The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The questioner:
Allah, I have a friend of Arab nationality who is living in one of the Western countries, and this friend of mine asks: Is it permissible to work in selling pork?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for him to work there.

The questioner:
This game. Hello.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to work in a place where pork, intoxicants, or other forbidden things are sold; he should not work there, because this is being lax regarding sin and transgression. Yes.
