Working in customs is impermissible if the work involves collecting taxes or assisting in their collection, because most customs collections involve taking people's money without a lawful right, and this constitutes aiding in a forbidden act. However, if the work is not related to collecting taxes and customs, and it involves permissible matters and does not entail condoning a forbidden act, then it is permissible. Nevertheless, it is not permissible to contract for such work before the specific field of work is determined.
