Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah

Are you allowed to join the british army?

Jazakallah

Answer
Bismillah

Assalamu alaikum,

It will not be permissible to work in the armed forces if the work conflicts with Sharee’ah. This is includes causing harm to Muslims or innocents be it directly or indirectly.

And Allah Ta’aala Knows Best.
