Q: Is it permissible to work as a checkout/till operator in a big supermarket? I have to handle alcohol/pork/Haraam chicken and beef to scan these items. I hold the very tips of the meat products so that I touch the least amount as possible. I have tried my best to look for alternative work but I just cannot find anything else. I have just started this work and after 3 months I can apply to change my role. I ask Allah to forgive me if I am doing wrong but this is the only success I have had job wise.
A: You should look for another job where you would not have to handle haraam items. However until you get a new job do not leave this one and continuously ask Allah for forgiveness.
