Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

If your work in this company is restricted to permissible work without taking part in the production of machines that are used to produce what is forbidden, then there is no harm for you to work in this company and the wages that you get thereof are permissible as they are from permissible work. However, it is more appropriate to look for work in another company which does not deal with what is forbidden at all.

Allaah Knows best.
