Is it permissible for a Muslim to work for a disbeliever in one of the worldly trades?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to work for a disbeliever in one of the worldly trades?

Answer:
There is no harm in partnering with a disbeliever in trade, provided the Muslim takes charge of it. The Muslim handles the buying and selling, because a disbeliever is not to be trusted. So if the Muslim partner is the one who manages the trade, there is no harm.
