Is it permissible to take a portion of one's salary or social security grant after deducting what corresponds to the working hours in an industry that contains alcohol?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The detailed ruling on making sweets containing alcohol: If the alcohol is treated before being added to the sweets and transforms into a non-intoxicating substance, then the work is permissible, and the wage is lawful. However, if the alcohol is added in its intoxicating form, then the work is not permissible, and the wage is unlawful. If you have paid money for such work, you must repent and resolve not to return to it.
