Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am studying in Britain, and my stipend was cut off, so I took a job in a shop. My job in that shop is taking inventory. He says: Knowing that the shop has alcohol and pork, and sometimes when taking inventory I touch this meat, the pork, with my hand. Is this work permissible for me?
Answer:
This work is not permissible for you. Look for another place that does not have these things. This is cooperation in sin and aggression.
