Cold Storage Facility

· 24 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A person has a job opportunity to work at a cold storage facility in Europe where they handle everything, including Haraam products. Would it be permissible to work at this facility as a labourer?

Answer

It will be permissible for one to work in other sections of the storage facility with the proviso that more than 51% of the storage facility income is from Halaal sources. Working in the liquor section or Haraam meat section will not be permitted. [Re: Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah Pg.121 Vol.17 Farooqiyyah print]
