Working in a place where alcohol is sold

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2016-04-07 11:22

Q: If someone works where they sell alcohol drinks but he also prays namaz five times and fasts in the month of Ramadhaan, would Allah Ta'ala accept his good deeds like namaaz even though he works with alcohol?

A: He should make taubah and try his best to look for a halaal alternative. If he makes taubah and works towards another alternative he can expect his namaaz to be accepted.

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