Submitted by admin on Thu, 2016-09-01 07:59

Q: I am a student who wishes to take up a job with Uber Eats. The job is basically to deliver food which can include haraam food and even alcohol. Uber pays an hourly rate for the delivery service. Is this job permissible?

A: Refuse to deliver haraam articles.

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

والاجارة الفاسدة على أحد عشر وجها أحدها الإجارة على المعاصي وهو أن يستأجر الرجل الرجل ليقتل رجلا أو يضربه أو يشتمه أو يستأجر النائحه أو المغنية لتنوح على ميتة أو لتغني له أو يستأجر حمالا ليحمل له خمرا أو غيره فإن استأجرها على أن يطرح عنه ميتة أو يصب خمرا فهو جائز وله الأجرة ولا أجرة على المعاصي لا المسماة ولا المثل (النتف في الفتاوى 2/574)
