Is working in customs permissible or forbidden, and what is the reason for the ruling?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to work in customs collection because it involves taking people's money in a manner that is not Islamically lawful. This falls under aiding in sin and aggression, which is forbidden in Islam. The questioner should fear Allah, and He will facilitate his affairs and provide for him from sources he does not anticipate.
