What is the ruling on working as a kindergarten teacher in a kindergarten that offers pork to children, and what is the ruling on the money earned from this work, knowing that she does not offer it herself?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the children are Muslims, the kindergarten must be prevented from serving them unlawful meat, and the administration must be instructed to prevent this for Muslims. However, if they are not Muslims, they consider eating pork permissible, and Muslims have no authority over them in their countries. In this case, it is sufficient not to assist in this unlawful act, nor to be present for it, and there is no harm in remaining in this job.
