The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible to benefit from the money of a person who works as an accountant in a place where intoxicants are sold, and where foodstuffs are also sold, in order to establish a charitable project, or to perform 'Umrah for his parents?
The Shaykh:
How?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to benefit from the money of a person who works as an accountant in a place where intoxicants are sold, and where foodstuffs are also sold, in order to establish a charitable project or to perform 'Umrah for his father?
The Shaykh:
He serves riba (usury or interest) and serves the sale of intoxicants. His earnings and salary are not permissible, because they are in exchange for forbidden work. The salary is forbidden.
