Answer:

(Fatwa: 855/666=L/1430)

If you are doing a lawful work, your income is lawful and halal. A Muslim can do a lawful job in an American company.

(2) While working in mixed environment, it is necessary to observe the Shariah limits like lowering the gaze, avoiding wanton and unrestrained talk to a strange woman etc. It is advisable for you to keep on looking for work in a company free from mixed environment and leave the present when you find a suitable one; since keeping oneself restrained in this environment and refraining from sins is very much difficult.

(3) The person seen in the dream was Satan and he wanted you to leave Tableegh. You must not pay any heed to it and you should engage yourself in Tableegh more and more.
