Islam and this ??

[IHearIslam]

:salam2: beloved brothers and sisters....

I have a quick question,

well, say you get a job as a dish washer in a restaurant (well, I didnt but asssume) and it's owned by non-Muslims, can we work there?? meaning, you know how there is going to be pork cooked and staff, is it haraamto work there as a dish washer, nobody is going to sell the pork? the only job would be *cleaning those dishes*...........so is it allowed?
jazakaAllah khairan for responding, please hadith and or Quran would be appreciated..........
with love, your sister in islam

As salamu 'alaikkum, here is a fatwa in shaAllah that is close to what you asked.

Many Muslim students in this country have to work to cover their tuition and living expenses, because for many of them, what they get from their families is not enough. This makes it essential for them to work as they cannot make ends meet otherwise. Often the only work they can find is in these restaurants that sell wine or offer meals containing pork or other haraam things. What is the ruling on working in these places? What is the ruling on a Muslim selling wine and pork, or producing wine and selling it to non-Muslims, given that some Muslims in these countries have taken this as their profession?

Praise be to Allaah.

If a Muslim cannot find work that is permissible according to sharee’ah, he may work in restaurants run by kaafirs, so long as he himself does not directly deal with pouring wine or carrying it or making it or selling it. The same applies to serving pork and other haraam things.
