Job halal?
Salam.I live in Sweden, a non-muslim land. I want to apply for a job in Toyota. They will manufacture forklift truck and I will be working as a fitter. It seems fine. But after making the trucks, I don’t know to whom Toyota is going to sell the trucks and those who will buy the trucks, how they are going to use it.The buyer may carry things which are prohivited in islam.Can I apply for this job?
As Sweden is a non muslim country, it is possible that many of the companies may have something haram, and these companies can use these forklift trucks to lift those products.
Answer
Wa’alaykum as Salām wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu,
Your job will be permissible. You will not be sinful for how these customers use those trucks. Life will be impractical if we have to think and doubt to that extent.
