I work in a non-Muslim supermarket. I have to handle and pack also haraam products.

Question

I work in a non-Muslim supermarket. I have to handle and pack also haraam products. Is my salary halaal?

Answer

Although it is not permissible for the Muslim worker to sell, pack or handle any haraam products at the shop where he works, he is nevertheless, entitled to his full wage for being at the shop. While the salary is contaminated, it is halaal. Be on the lookout for other employment.
