There is no impediment to working for a company whose activity is permissible (), and the commingling of the company's funds between lawful and unlawful () is of no consequence. Receiving wages for permissible work is Islamically permissible. Indeed, it has been made permissible for a Muslim to work for a wage for a non-Muslim, even though the wealth of non-Muslims often mixes lawful and unlawful sources.
