Q: I would like to work at a cider mill near my home. They produce apple cider, and the majority of their products contain alcohol. Only two of their products, which consist of pure apple juice, are halal.
Since I study Process Engineering, I would like to work there because the work is related to my field of study, and the experience I gain there could be very beneficial for my future. I also live close to the factory.
Please take into consideration that I live in Germany, where it is not easy to find a company in which all processes are 100% halal. The cider mill is also part of a large corporate group that mainly offers drinking water and fruit juices.
Would I be allowed to work there part-time?
A: If the company mainly deals in producing alcohol or beverages that contain alcohol, then do not take employment in such a company.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
