Two conditions need to be found to determine if the work is lawful or not;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The nature of the work is lawful if more than 50% of the income is halal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Bearing all this in mind and taking into consideration your question we can conclude that working as a waiter for such a restaurant would entail earning more than 50% halal since you will be delivering mainly halal products. However, you should still make effort to look for a job which does not involve handling haram. In the meantime, to keep this job and work in such an environment would be permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Mufti Muhammad Asadullah Anwar Adam<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">[1][[Surah Baqarah Ayat 168]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">{\u064a\u0623\u064a\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0633 \u0643\u0644\u0648\u0627 \u0645\u0645\u0627 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0631\u0636 \u062d\u0644\u0644\u0627 \u0637\u064a\u0628\u0627}<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 06272 &nbsp; Answered by: Mufti Muhammad Asadullah Anwar Adam &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; I wanted to ask if my money is haram.
