What is the ruling on the salary of a husband who works for a company that sells both permissible and impermissible items (such as pork and alcohol), if his work is in a department separate from the impermissible items?
The website warns against residing in disbelieving countries due to their negative impact on religion, as a Muslim may be exposed to the trials of doubts and desires, and become accustomed to seeing evil.
If the husband's work is in the watches and gold section and has no connection to the forbidden acts of the restaurant, then his salary is lawful, and he does not bear the sin of the company for selling forbidden things. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions dealt with Jews in permissible transactions despite the Jews' other forbidden dealings.
