			This question says, I work in a coffee shop that offer bacon sandwiches. And I have to make these
sandwiches and serve them to customers is that Hello.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:31
			Obviously, in our religion as Muslim is not allowed to consume bacon or any pork product, as well
cooking it, selling it
		
00:00:33 --> 00:01:35
			farming pigs for this purpose. And all this things I'm not hold on for us as Muslims. But if you
serve majority if your work is basically include serving bacon at this work something that you
should look for another type of job that has no harm type of service in it. But if the vast majority
of your work in that coffee shop is held on, maybe maybe 5%, or less than 10% of that sandwich that
you make, or the service that you do to customers will not involve bacon. In this case, I would say
it's just highly not recommended for you to be working in a place like this. And that's number one.
Number two, that outside as well. There is another thing we look at it here that the person should
		
00:01:35 --> 00:02:06
			increase their setup and purification because in the VSL someone told businessmen in Medina that
time that this business will never be 100% pure, there will always be question little things and
transactions. So purify your your money with sada and I'll say you purify your income with charity
as well to increase your charity if you are a worker in such place. And I asked Allah to help you to
find
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:54
			a better job which is shala 100% pure on how not because we take in consideration being in a non
Muslim country, taking citizen also how hard it is, for a lot of people to find job, especially in
the food business. None of Muslim country that it will be completely free from any pork product. And
I do believe that this is a middle position between those who said it's absolutely haram and you
have to quit your job. And those who said it's okay hold on because pork is allowed for the people
of the book or helot for them in the non Muslims. So we're not basically helping them to do
something haha. I do see these two opinions
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:01
			on the opposite of each other and I hope this as well be a middle path in between Los Alamos.
