Muslim civil engineer constructing buildings for armies fighting against Muslims

· 19 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am working as a civil engineer. We deal with construction of buildings and other structures. Sometimes we have to work for the army of disbelievers (kuffar) who are presently fighting against Muslims. We have to construct buildings and other structures for them... Is it allowed for us to work for them although we have no intention to help them on their anti Islamic sentiment. Remember our land is under oppression.

Answer

Avoid being part of such contracts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
