Question:

I’m working in Uber Eats. My question is I don’t deliver pork and alcohol, part of this some time KFC or McDonald’s orders contain non-zabiha beef burgers or chicken. Will if I deliver chicken and beef burgers my income will be halal, even though I’m not in direct contact with customers and the company I’m just an uber eat driver

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

A condition for the validity of a transaction is that:

أن يكون مالا متقوّمًا شرعا

“The product is legally sound” (Fatawa Hindiya, Vol 3, Pg 3)

This applies to the buyer and seller of the item. As a delivery driver, you are neither the buyer nor seller of the products which you deliver; the transaction is between the company and the customer. Therefore, your income is Halaal.

Only Allah knows best.
