Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Is it Haram to run a fast food restaurant franchise and earn a living knowing that you are handling and selling pork products?

What about working at a sit-down restaurant where they sell pork products and Alcohol?

Answer:

 

Selling pork and alcohol

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah and His Messenger (saws) have declared the consumption of swine and intoxicants (alcohol, wine, etc.) haraam; thus the selling, or buying, or trading, or even facilitating the usage of any of the haraam products would be considered forbidden in the sight of Shariah.

 

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2776 Narrated by Anas ibn Malik

Allah's Messenger (saws) invoked the curse of Allah on ten people in connection with ‘khamr’ (intoxicants, wine, alcohol, etc.): the wine-presser, the one who has it pressed, the one who drinks it, the one who conveys it, the one to whom it is conveyed, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who benefits from the price paid for it, the one who buys it, and the one for whom it is bought.

 

Thus the scholars in Islam are unanimous in their opinion that if one earns his living through the trading or transacting of any of the haraam products, his earnings would also be considered haraam.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your Brother in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
