What is the ruling on a Muslim woman working in a jewelry store in a non-Muslim country that sells gold to non-Muslim men and sells crosses, and is she sinful for that? What is the ruling on selling jewelry that has drawings of animals on it?
It is not permissible to sell crosses or jewelry that contains images of animate beings, nor is it permissible to sell gold jewelry to men, even if they are non-Muslims. Therefore, it is not permissible for the questioner to remain in her job if she will be selling forbidden items, except out of genuine necessity where she cannot find any other work. As for laziness and depression, their causes vary from person to person.
