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

 <\/p>\n

Salam Alikom, I have been offered a job as a compliance officer for the IT department for a company that provides platform with multiple uses including betting and gambling, I dont have any direct interaction with these applications only the IT of the platform, would that be Halal or Haram<\/span><\/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

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, \u201cSeeking to earn a lawful livelihood is an obligatory duty in addition to the duties which are obligatory.\u201d (Mishkat al Masabih, hadith # 2781)[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seeking lawful livelihood is mandatory, as a result care should be taken to ensure one’s earnings is obtained from a lawful (halal) source.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Working as a compliance officer in an IT department will be permissible on the condition one is not involved in anything prohibited (haraam). However, since the company is a betting and gambling company the income earned from such company would be unlawful.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah states in the holy Quran; “O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idols, and drawing lots for decisions,\u00a0are all evil of Satan\u2019s handiwork. So shun them so you may be successful”. (Quran, chapter 5, verse 90)[2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abu Huraira narrated: The Messenger of Allah said, \u201cO people, Allah is purely good, and He only accepts what is purely good”. (Sahih al Muslim, hadith # 1015)[3]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, even though one will not be directly involved with the betting and gambling softwares, the income earned from the work would be unlawful. Hence, it would be impermissible to work in the IT department of a betting and gambling company.<\/span><\/p>\n
