Transporting Intoxicants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 3424 )
Q 3: A Muslim man performs the prayer, fasts, pays the obligatory alms, and carries out all acts of worship, but he drives a truck carrying intoxicants for years. This truck belongs to one of the companies, and he has no job other than this one for his entire life. Is this work forbidden or not?
A 3: The principle is that a person should look for permissible work; because the lawfulness or prohibition of earnings follows the lawfulness or prohibition of the work. If the work is corrupt, the earnings are corrupt. Allah has encouraged eating what is pure, and He the Exalted said:
O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْAllah is Good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good
إن الله تعالى طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبًا
