Q: I am currently working in a store which sells health and beauty products, including makeup, perfumes, creams, medicines, etc. Some of these products contain unlawful ingredients like alcohol and glycerin (which may be derived from animals or vegetables), and some may also have been tested on animals. My question is, is it permissible for me to work there selling these items?
A: Avoid those products that are contaminated with haraam or impurity.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
