If a Person Delivers Pizza With Pork, Will His Income Be Regarded As Haram?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulIftaBirmingham

Answered by: Muftiyah Safiyya-Maryam Ahmed

Question:

If a person works as a pizza delivery and also delivers sometimes pizza with pork, will his income be regarded as Haram? or will it be said, that he is paid for the time he is giving?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

Working as a delivery driver would be permissible even if you sometimes may deliver haram pizza, this is because according to Imam Abu Hanifah [rahimahullah] the act of delivering is not in itself sinful nor is it the direct means to committing sin. However, there are some scholars within the Hanafi school of thought that would deem it makrooh (disliked), therefore making dua to Allah Azzawajjal to bless you with an income that is halal, pure and causes content in your heart.

Only Allah knows best

قوله: (وحمل خمر ذمى) قال الزيلعى: وهذا عنده وقالا: هو مكروه ” لأنه عليه الصلاة والسلام {لعن فى الخمر عشرة وعد منها حاملها} “. وله أن الإجارة على الحمل وهو ليس بمعصية ، ولا سبب لها وإنما تحصل المعصية بفعل فاعل مختار. وليس الشرب من ضرورات الحمل لأن حملها قد يكون للإراقة أو للتخليل ، فصار كما إذا استأجره لعصر العنب أو قطعه. والحديث محمول على الحمل المقرون بقصد المعصية. اهـ. زاد فى النهاية وهذا قياس وقولهما استحسان. ثم قال الزيلعى: وعلى هذا الخلاف لو آجره دابة  (رد المحتار, كتاب الحظر والاباحة, باب الاستبراء وغيره, جلد ٩, صفحة ٥٦٢, دار عالم الكتب)
