Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Can I join the police force in UK?
Wa Alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
There is nothing per se wrong with working as a police officer. Rather, if one has the intention of promoting the good and spreading law and order, it would be rewarding.
Like any other line of work, one cannot do anything clearly against the Shariah. When in doubt, ask reliable scholars.
And Allah alone gives success.
