The Ruling on the Work of a Laborer in Selling Prohibited Items
What is the ruling on the salary of a laborer who works in a shop that sells alcohol and meat that is not slaughtered according to the Islamic method?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If he does not engage in selling activities such as transportation, cleaning, and others, his work is permissible. However, if he sells alcohol, his work is not permissible, and his earnings are impure; he must give them in charity. In contrast, selling meat is completely permissible. And God knows best.
