drinks are sold, but he avoids preparing or carrying these drinks to
customers, but he continues to serve the customers if they ask for
food and drinks which are not haraam? Taking into account the fact
that I pass by people who are drinking them and I see those who are
serving them, as it is one place. What is the ruling on the Muslim who
deals in them for the purpose of attracting customers? What is the
ruling on serving pork to customers when working in that restaurant,
as a service and work for the purpose of earning a living? What is the
ruling on the owner of a restaurant who has pork and earns money from
it?
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly: it is haraam to work and earn a living by helping people to
consume haraam things such as alcohol and pork. The payment for that
is haraam, because this is a kind of cooperating in sin and
transgression, and Allaah prohibited that when He said (interpretation
of the meaning):
"...but do not help one another in sin and transgression..." [al-Maa'idah 5:2]
We advise you to keep away from working in this and similar
restaurants, because this will keep you from helping in anything that
Allaah has forbidden.
Secondly: it is forbidden for a Muslim to sell haraam things such as
pork and alcohol. It was reported that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"When Allaah forbids a thing, He also forbids its price."
Provision and the attraction of customers are things that are in the
hand of Allaah, and they are not to be found in selling haraam things.
The Muslim must fear Allaah and follow His commands and heed His
prohibitions.
"And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a
way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide
him from (sources) he never could imagine" [al-Talaaq 65:2-3 -
interpretation of the meaning]
