Question:
Assalamualaikum, need clarification to situation-reference answer to question-14031- (www.ask-imam.com ) giving permission to work in non-muslim countries having Haram earnings. I have to quote on Textiles to a church group-South Africa-I have avoided it, interpreting your answer means that this be under the same category. Working for a person with non-Halaal earnings surely would be the same as if I decide to quote-sell to Church group. They are Haram institution in a non-Muslim country. Does this mean that a Muslim can work for South African Breweries? (non-muslim country-Haraam sales of Alcohol) please clarify this matter-Jazaakallah-Khair
Answer:
It is lawful for you to quote on textiles to church group-South Africa. There are some details needed with regards to working for S.A.B. Please inform us to type of work you are referring to.
