Is it permissible for a Muslim to represent airlines that serve alcohol to their passengers?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to work for an airline that serves alcohol, provided that the employee's work is not connected to facilitating this forbidden act (such as agreeing to, selling, or distributing it), while also enjoining good and forbidding evil as much as possible. It is preferable to seek work that is entirely permissible. However, if the work is connected in any way to facilitating the forbidden act, it must be left immediately, as Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
