Working in a Place Where Pork and Alcohol Is Sold

الاستفتاء

question number 1.... if we are in USA and we have to do some job to earn some money to sustain our educational expenses so what about working in a hotel or in a convenient store where we have to sell and make pork sandwiches and burgers
Q number 2..... if we are working in the same place and we are serving things other then pork items the how is that
Q number 3...........if we are at the cash counter and we are making receipts of alcohol what about that

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Working in a hotel or convenient store where both lawful (Halal) and unlawful (Haram ) things (such as pork and alcohol) are sold is permissible even if the questioner is required on terms of his employment to sell or handle these unlawful items. However, even though working in such a place is permissible, it is better to refrain. Therefore, if the questioner is able to find employment in another place where these unlawful things are not provided, then it would be better for him to forgo his current job and seek employment there.
Allah knows best.
