Working with an Airline That Serves Alcohol

24-4-2002 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is it permissible to work with an airline that serves alcohol as part of its in flight service, even though I am not directly involved?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

You are allowed to work with an airline that serves alcohol as long as you do not assist and are not directly involved with such a service.

So, you have to be a good staff member who may contribute to the reformation in this firm.

We ask Allah to help you and grant you success.

For more benefit on the prohibition of alcohol in Islam, please refer to Fataawa 81900 and 81389.

Allah knows best.
