Question

I have been working for McDonals for about 6 weeks but I don't know if you are allowed to work for them or not as they sell haraam and halal food,I know that they make enough money from their halal food to pay for my wages but can you still wotk there, my job is to serve customers at the till which requires me to serve and handle haraam food, Am I allowed to work there, if not then how shall I make the haraam money/wages halal

Answer

If McDonalds sells Haraam food, it is not permissible for you to work there irrespective of them being able to pay you through the Halaal sales.

If you do not have an alternate employment, you will be excused to work there until you find an alternate Halaal source of income.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
