Working in a shop which sells halaal and haraam items

Q: Please advise if it is permissible to work in a shop partially selling musical instruments (on condition when one can not find any other suitable job)?

Bismillaah

A: If the main business of the shop is permissible, and the employment you are involved in is also of a permissible nature, then it will be permissible for you to work in such a shop.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
