Lately, I had a job interview at Tesco and I finally got accepted for a job for the first time. The role is a customer assistant where I may have to handle alcoholic beverages at check out or stocking. I saw another Fatwa where you approved the job Halal as long as I&#8217;m not carrying it protecting or promoting it, but does the fatwa change if I am a woman and our financial situation is decent as my husband\u2019s job supports us, we have the food we need and a roof over our head but would absolutely love to work as well rather than stay home as we haven\u2019t been able to become parents yet. I am not sure if this is relevant but I follow madhab Imam Malik and my husband follows Shafi\u2019i.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"sdfootnote2\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><u>Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Working at a supermarket where one has to handle non-halal products should be avoided.
