Can I take a job at a hotel that serves alcohol but won’t require me to serve it?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am getting a job offer in a hotel but the hotel is dealing with alcohol. I was told that I am not going to serve any alcohol. I will be separated from this. So can I opt for that job?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 1164/905/B=9/1434)

It is better for Muslims to avoid working in such hotels. If there is some compulsion then you may sell only the halal things instead of alcohol i.e. you should do the job only in severe need.

Allah knows Best!
