Question:
If a clinically depressed person can’t find a Halaal job or business and is hurting himself and people around him emotionally is it ok to help him in Haraam (gas station, alcohol vending ) job?
Answer:
If help signifies working at a gas station, then it will be permissible. If it means alcohol vending, then it will be Haraam. It is better to refrain from Haraam and earn a livelihood through Halaal means.
If you are trying to mean something else in your question then please do not hesitate in sending a detailed question.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
