What is the ruling on working as a flight attendant, which requires carrying alcohol temporarily, with the intention of leaving it later, due to poor economic conditions?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Alcohol is a cause for deserving a curse. The curse is not limited to the one who drinks it but also includes the one who serves it and the one who carries it. Therefore, it is not permissible to offer or hand over alcohol, even for a brief period. A person's need for money can be met by any permissible work that provides the basic necessities of life, and anything beyond that is not among the necessities that permit forbidden acts.
