What is the ruling on working for a company that cooperates with a place that sells alcohol, and is it permissible to go and install computer devices in this place, with the possibility of touching the forbidden drinks?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a Muslim to sit at a table where alcohol is consumed, or to install devices used in its trade, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not sit at a table where alcohol is circulated." And due to the saying of Allah the Almighty: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." If your work does not involve that, then there is no blame upon you. However, one must be cautious of touching alcohol due to its impurity.
