Q: I work in a forwarding and clearing company in the export department. We have a client that exports variety of food stuff to Dubai often it is haraam foods. I will soon have to handle this account. Would it be permissible for me to arrange the shipments (transport / custom clearance) of these haraam foods. If not please make dua Allah Ta'ala protects me from this.

A: It is best if you can excuse yourself from this type of work.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
