Doing deliveries for Amazon flex
Q: I have been doing a self-employed delivery job with amazon known as Flex; Amazon flex has 3 types of delivery:
1. Logistics – normal cardboard boxes but I will never know the contents (but no food and drink items from my knowledge)
2. Prime now - which allows for many items which included electronics etc, foods, all types of drinks including alcohol in paper bags. So I am able to tell sometimes what is in the bag.
3. Morrisons shopping - anything Morrisons sells (morrisons is a massive supermarket like Asda or Target).
The way it works for Amazon flex, you will never know what route and items you are delivering until around 10 minutes into the booked shift. There is no management for point of contact to say that you do not wish to deliver alcohol, ‘you get what you’re given’. For the second and third types of delivery, there is always a chance of delivering alcohol but you will never know until its given to you.
So my question is my earnings halal? or just to leave completely due to always having doubt?
Also this is not my main income anymore, I have a 9 to 5 and I do this after my main job as I am trying to get married and I have just left university.
A: Try your best to leave out the things that you know are haraam, and the ones you do know about make istighfaar.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
