Ḥarām Gains: Is Working in Places Like Nightclubs or Pork Factories Permissible?

English:

Question #1082:

Is it permissible to work in nightclubs, food processing factories, where pork is usually processed, or any other corrupt centers? What is the ruling on money earned from such work?

Answer #1082:

It is not permissible to be involved in any ḥarām act, such as selling intoxicants, setting up and managing nightclubs and other places for lewd behaviour, gambling, and consumption of alcohol. Furthermore, any income earned in such a way is ḥarām and one does not own the wages taken for it. As to pork, it is caution to avoid earning money through it.
