The Ruling on Working in Foreign Companies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to work in a foreign company?
Answer:
We do not know what type of work it is. If the work is permissible and the disbelievers do not have authority over you—meaning the supervisors over you and those who manage the affairs are Muslims—then there is no harm. However, if a disbeliever manages you, commands you, and forbids you, then it is not permissible. Or if the work is forbidden, then it is not permissible. Yes. Yes.
