Sometimes they are sold at the register, and I must hold and ring up the alcohol bottles.","answer":"Yes, as long as you’re just the cashier there and assuming the store sells other things that are halal. Assuming we’re not talking about a liquor store. Obviously, not an ideal job for a Muslim, but it’s permissible.\nThis is permitted according to the Hanafi school of fiqh. Like I said, it’s not optimal but if someone finds themselves temporarily in need of this type of job, then this opinion can be followed.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329a9","tag":"Contemporary Life: Jobs and Career","count":120},{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328f2","tag":"Contemporary Life: Food and Medicine","count":54}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:37.394Z"}
