Q: I would like for a detailed explanation to hand to my manager. 

I started working for a company and they asked me the other day if I could help set up for a meeting. I said sure but I’m not touching the food as it was meat etc. bought from woolies which is haraam. They said okay that’s fine but I said I would put the fruit in the bowl because I’m allowed to eat that and it’s not haraam. 

After the meeting was over I was called in by my manager and she said that it’s my job to do it so isn’t there another way, but I don’t want to touch this haraam food because I never have and I don’t want to compromise my religion. 

Also an important thing to note is that there are two Muslim ladies at the work and they do not wear hijab, they allow the men to touch and hug them and they touch this haraam meat and just wash their hands after but I do not do this and don’t want to do it. So I think they probably think I’m being a snob and trying to get out of doing my job but that is not the case. 

Please can you give me a detailed explanation so that I can provide them with the proper reasonings so I don’t ever have to touch the haraam meat even with the gloves.
