Working for a Disbeliever for a Monthly Salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim in the lands of Islam or elsewhere to work for a disbeliever for a monthly salary?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Earning a wage for permissible work from a disbeliever or anyone else is fine; one may work for a wage.
