\n\tAnswered by: Imam Abdul-Malik Sheikh<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tQuestion<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy question is, is it okay to work in a car dealership seeing as most people buy on interest these days, and you might be involved in helping them buy?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy other question is, what is the ruling on working in big stores, as many stores like Walmart, Home Depot and Canadian Tire offer customers to buy on loan, thus dealing with interest. Since you will be working there as a cashier or salesperson, you might become a witness or assist them in the transaction, even if you are working in their corporate office. Is it okay as these companies are earning their profits through interest also?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPlease note that generally, it is not allowed for a person to undertake work which is Har\u0101m or work which involves assisting in Har\u0101m – the work has to be lawful and source of income or salary has to be Halal.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf the car dealership primarily deals with interest-based transactions and the majority of the employee's salaries are from interest-based income, then it will not be permissible for you to work in such a place.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn answer to your second question, there is no harm in your undertaking work in which you are not required to undertake any Har\u0101m tasks or directly assist in Har\u0101m activity or transaction. If the companies you mention have some interest-based dealings and your salary is a mixture of Har\u0101m and Halal income, as long as the majority of your income is from the Halal and not from Har\u0101m source it will be permissible for you to work in such companies.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
