Pearl of Wisdom

'There are six signs of a person of conviction: he has truly attained conviction in Allah and believed in Him, he is convinced that Death is true and he is wary of it, he is convinced that Resurrection is true and he fears shame, he is convinced that Heaven is true and he longs for it, he is convinced that Hell is true and his endeavour is apparent in his wanting to be saved from it, he is convinced that the Account is true and so he takes account of himself.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

Question : #443 Category: Social Interaction
Subject: wokring in western society
Question: Is it permissible to work in a restaurant that serves pork and alcoholic beverages?
Answer: Serving alcoholic beverages to others is prohibited even if the one to whom they are served considers them lawful.

The permissibility of serving pork to someone who considers it lawful is not unlikely although selling it is without a doubt disallowed. And a Muslim hiring himself out for a forbidden task is rendered invalid and the taking of wages for this is prohibited. There is no objection to taking possession (of money) in return for work done as a means of rescuing it from someone whose wealth is not honored.
