The answer

If your work involves assisting people in their acts of disobedience, such as serving or transporting alcohol, then it is impermissible, based on the Almighty’s saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). You must dispose of any money earned through such work. However, if your work is not directly connected to acts of disobedience, but leads to witnessing forbidden things or remaining silent about them without denouncing them, then it is also impermissible for you to work in it, in order to safeguard your religion.
