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

 <\/p>\n

Can you work as a security guard at football, cricket or rugby matches?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

The importance of Halal Earnings<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As dutiful Muslims, it is vital that the importance of Halal earnings is grasped. The Shariah law has laid out which one may deal with and that which is impermissible to deal with.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah SWT says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEat of what is lawful and pure in the earth, and do not follow in Satan\u2019s steps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

[2:168] (1)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The words ‘Eat of what is lawful’ pertains to consuming good and halal wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why must our earnings be pure?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our wealth assists in our sustenance, provision and our consumption. If the root of our wealth is Haram, then that which follows will be evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is stated in Hadith:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Abdallah b. Mas’ud reported God’s Messenger as saying, \u201cTrying to earn a lawful livelihood is an obligatory duty in addition to the duties which are obligatory.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

(Mishkatul Masabih, 2781) (2)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hadith above compares earning lawfully to the common and primary obligations. Thus, we can derive the vitality of halal earning upon a Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The extract of the Hadith of Sunan Ibn Majah below narrates the event of a Sahabi and his unlawful means of earning:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Safwan bin Umayyah said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were with the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) and Amr bin Murrah came and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa), Allah (SWT) has decreed that I be doomed, and He has not guided me to earn a living except by beating my tambourine with my hand; give me permission to sing without doing anything immoral.’ The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: ‘I will not give you permission, or honour you nor give you, what you want. You are lying, O enemy of Allah. Allah (SWT) has granted you a good, lawful provision, but you have chosen the provision that Allah (SWT) has forbidden to you instead of that which He has permitted. If I had warned you before, I would have done such and such to you. Get away from me and repent to Allah (SWT).<\/span><\/p>\n

(Sunan Ibn Majah, 2613) (3)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is therefore essential to ensure our earnings and work is Shariah-compliant and our wealth and earnings aren’t compromised<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In regards to your query, it is determined whether one’s earning is lawful based on the nature of the job. If the job involves permissible activities that don’t compromise one’s faith, then the job will be permissible and the work of a security guard is lawful in itself. There is no disobedience or transgression in the actual work (4)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thus, as the work of a security guard isn’t unlawful, one can work as a security guard and gain halal earnings. Though, one must be cautious where they offer their services.<\/span><\/p>\n
