Doing deliveries for Amazon flex

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-10-24 06:26

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.

Earning as an occupational therapist

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2018-10-22 07:51

Q: I am interested in being an Occupational Therapist, and I am a Muslim male. Occupational Therapy is a female-dominated profession, with about 90 percent being females. The nature of the profession involves helping people of all ages who have disabilities regain independence so they can do things they used to do, such as work and play. In Occupational Therapy school, I will be required to touch both males and females on the arms, legs, back, and shoulders for practice. Then when I begin working I will be required to treat both male and female patients. Treating them would require contact with the opposite gender, usually on the hand, back, shoulder, and arm on a regular basis. Would this job be considered halal since I am not doing any touching involving lust, but rather for work and to make the patient better? Or would it be haram in all cases and should I find another profession? By the way, my parents really want me to do it - they are also Muslims but not very religious.

Developing an online selling website for a person who will sell images

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-10-16 07:11

Q: I work as a freelance web designer and programmer. Recently, a client asked me to create a website with an online store system to sell PSD files. PSD file stands for PhotoShop document. They can be simple graphic designs or images that people use (for example, book printing companies always purchase book cover PSDs).

I programmed and designed the online store. Once I reached the final steps of my work, I found out that this client will use the website I built to sell some weird images. These images are not pornographic, but they are very weird 3D models of people (mainly half-naked girls), for some game companies. Apparently, the game companies buy this person’s designs to use in their games. These images are not classed as pornographic, but they have so much weird sexual underflow.

I get paid a one-time payment for creating the “online selling platform”. I do not “host” this website for the client. My job was just to make a selling system for digital files and it stops there. Similarly, I will not be uploading the pictures to the site. Will the money that I earn through creating this site be halaal? Keep in mind that I did not know what the purpose of this site was.
