Can a Muslim work as a security guard in a supermarket that sells alcohol?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
asslamuallikum I would like to now if it is ok to work as a security guard in a supermarket where they sell alcohol my job is to guard alcohol.

Answer

(Fatwa: 879/825=D/1429)

In the abovementioned market, if only alcohol is sold and you work there as security guard with no work except it, then this job is not free from karahah (undesirability). Try to find any other proper job and leave this one when you find one.
