The answer

It is impermissible to sell pork or to assist in its sale in any way, based on the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of alcoholic beverages, dead animals, pigs, and idols." And based on Allah's (the Most High) saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." It is obligatory for a Muslim to seek out lawful earnings and avoid forbidden ones. It is permissible to work in stores that sell pork, provided that one does not assist in the forbidden act by selling, carrying, or collecting it.
