The answer

It is permissible for a Muslim to work for a non-believer for wages, provided that the work does not involve anything forbidden, or assist in anything forbidden, and does not entail humiliation for the Muslim, such as serving the non-believer. However, work that requires a Muslim to change his name to a name specific to non-believers is not permissible, due to the deception involved, the resemblance to non-believers, and the humiliation it brings to the Muslim.
