What is the ruling on working as a custodian of seized items in the Public Prosecution in Dubai, safeguarding stolen trusts and returning them to their owners, and seizing evidence of guilt from defendants? Is it permissible to remain in this job until another one is found if it is not permissible?
There is no objection to the aforementioned work if it involves storing stolen items in a warehouse and returning them to their owners after a prosecutorial order. However, if it is assumed that working in such places is forbidden, then one should not remain there except out of necessity, if a person cannot find permissible work that suffices for himself and his dependents, or if he does not have enough money to meet his needs and the needs of his dependents, while diligently searching for other employment.
