Is it permissible to buy pork for an elderly non-Muslim woman for whom the questioner works?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The permissibility of this work is subject to Sharia review. It is not permissible for a Muslim to hire himself out to serve a disbeliever, according to some scholars, nor to engage in work that necessitates committing forbidden acts, such as buying pork. Furthermore, the conditions for the permissibility of residing in lands of disbelief must be observed, especially for a Muslim woman.
