Q: I am a student and working part time. I want to know that if I work in a place where pork and wine etc are sold and I would have to deal with these things, is it permissible in a non-Muslim country? In addition, I have tried my best to find a job that does not involve this stuff but either the pay rates were far below the minimum wage rate or I had no experience of that work.
A: It is not permissible in Islam for a Muslim to work with pork and wine. You should look for another job.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
