\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have a job offer from an American company which mainly deals with oil and gas and petroleum sector around the world (more than 95 % of its business). But I also came to know that about 2 to 3 percent of this company's business is by selling equipment to naval forces of western countries. I will not be related to this work and my work will be only in Saudi Arabia. I will working in the division that only deals with oil gas and petroleum companies and sells only oilfield equipment. Can I join this company.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAbdullah ibn Masood \"Description: narrates that the Messenger of Allah \"Description:said: “Seeking of halal earnings is compulsory after the obligatory duties.” (Shuabul Iman lilBaihaqi Hadith 8213)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo conditions needs to be found to determine if the work is lawful or not;<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tThe nature of the work is lawful<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tMore than 50% of the income is halal.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tBearing all this in mind and taking into consideration your question we can conclude that working for such companies would entail earning more than 50% halal since you will be selling products that are Halal to sell. However, you should still make effort to look for a job which does not involve anything doubtful at all in any way. In the meantime, to keep this would be permissible.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
