What is the ruling on marketing electronically for a company that sells multiple products, and among its sections are books on how to make alcoholic beverages or that sells alcohol in general, if the marketing will be for other sections and products?
It is permissible to market permissible products electronically in a company that has various departments, as long as the marketing does not include any reference or indication of forbidden books, such as books on manufacturing alcoholic beverages. This is based on the Almighty's saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression).
If the company sells alcoholic beverages, it is permissible to work in the permissible departments, provided that alcoholic beverages are not present in the workplace, and that the work does not involve any assistance or indication related to them. The condition of alcoholic beverages not being present in the workplace is stipulated because their presence is a reprehensible act that must be denounced and removed by hand or tongue, or by leaving the place with the heart if that is not possible.
Based on this, if these conditions are met, working is permissible, but it is better to leave it and seek other employment in a company that does not sell alcoholic beverages and does not assist in their sale.
