𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓
I works as a security guard in a store that sells
alcohol; what is the ruling on my work ?
𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️
Praise be to Allah.
There is nothing wrong with working as a security
guard in a supermarket, but if this store sells haraam things such as alcohol
and pork, it is not permissible to work there either as a guard or a cashier,
because that implies approval of evil and because of what you mention of
helping to transport it. This is emphatically forbidden because of the report
narrated by Abu Dawood (3674) and Ibn Maajah (3380) from Ibn ‘Umar who said: The
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“Allaah has cursed khamr
(alcohol) and the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells
it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes it, the one for whom it is
squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.” Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Based on that, you should look for a job that is
befitting for the Muslim who is proud of his religion, follows its commands and
heeds its prohibitions. You should take measures to find permissible ways of
earning a living. Allah, may He be exalted, says:
وَقَدْ نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْعُدُوا مَعَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ ۚ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا مِثْلُهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَامِعُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَالْكَافِرِينَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعًا ٠٤١
“And it has already been
revealed to you in the Book (this Quran) that when you hear the Verses of Allah
being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk
other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would
be like them. For Allah will collect the hypocrites and those who defy faith -
all in Hell” [an-Nisa’ 4:140]
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ ۚ وَإِمَّا يُنْسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ٨٦
“And when you (Muhammad SAW)
see those who engage in a false conversation about Our Verses (of the Quran) by
mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to another topic. And if
Shaitan (Satan) causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in
the company of those people who are the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers,
etc.)” [al-An ‘am 6:68]
وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا بِاللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا كِرَامًا ٢٧
“And those who do not
witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass
by it with dignity” [al-Furqaan 25:72].
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on) said:
“Falsehood” includes all kinds of evil. That includes shirk (associating others
with Allah), kufr (disbelief), the festivals of the mushrikeen (those who
associate others with Allah), gathering to drink alcohol and smoke, songs,
musical instruments, movies and other evils. Something similar was stated by
al-Haafiz Ibn Katheer in his commentary on this verse.
End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 27/429
Shaykh Khaalid ibn ‘Ali al-Mushayqih (may Allah
preserve him) was asked about working in the management of a hotel that sells
alcohol. He replied:
There is no doubt whatsoever that the one who
welcomes guests in such a hotel and prepares accommodation for them is a
partner in that sin. I advise the brother to keep away from that and to try
hard to look for permissible work even if it brings a lower income.
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
“And whosoever fears
Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from
every difficulty). [al-Talaaq 65:2].
وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ
"And He will provide him from (sources) he
never could imagine”_[al-Talaaq 65:3].
He should try hard to look for permissible work
and when he finds that he should move to that job.
To sum up, it is not permissible for you to work
in these and similar places even if you need to work.
Allah knows best.
