What is the ruling of Sharia on marrying a man who works in a nightclub (bar), knowing that he is of good character and does not drink alcohol or smoke?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim must avoid places of corruption, and it is forbidden for him to sit at a table where alcohol is served, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where alcoholic drinks are circulated." It is advised not to marry someone who works in such a field, because his work is considered assistance to people of corruption, and his earnings are unlawful.
