Salaam everyone,
Lately, a discussion had been going on between my sisters and I regarding certain jobs that are haraam. I was quite surprised to hear that jobs like banking, accounting/auditing etc are not advisable as they deal with usury,which is haraam in Islam. Chances are, I might work in one of these fields and I want to be sure that, it is acceptable in Islam.
Would you also consider jobs such as cashier as not advisable as it involves selling certain haraam food like Pork and alcohol?
An imam (if I remember correctly he is an imam) said that when you work as cashiers selling haraam products, you are considered to have syubaha. But he said that what we can do is that each time someone purchases those products, we take note and at the end of the day, we minus off that time from our pay as that is the time of syubaha.
I find this view a better one than regarding it is as totally unacceptable. However, I am not sure if this works for jobs like I mentioned above.
What are your opinions about this?
Wasalaam,
