Hello NLs:
I sometimes see large congregations of able bodied young men of northern extraction looking for menial jobs like farm work, clearing, block moulding, service for bricklayer, etc. Their number can run into hundreds in the morning and their are several pockets of such gatherings around the state.

Now, there is work opportunity in a beer manufacturing company that these guys can get engaged with but someone who shares similar faith with them (but works in this company) said they won't like to do the job cos it's against Muslim teachings.

I asked why is it that he doesn't mind doing the job despite being a Muslim. He said he's okay with the work as long as he doesn't drink the alcohol and as long as he doesn't pray in his work clothes.

His argument seems logical but I'd like to know if this is enough reason to convince a Muslim to work in such environment. Your contributions are welcome.

It is wrong to work in a beer company but not wrong to kidnap innocent children and kill them.

Satanic and evil religion .

Allah forbade Alcohol and everyone involved in the chain shall be punished in shaa Allah.
the manufacturer, the one that helps in the manufacturing process,one that sells, one that drinks.. You get the picture

why would you take something that can harm you in the first place anyway? or why would anyone want to be manufacturing death sentence? It's foolish don't you think?
When you could engage in manufacturing drugs, you're manufacturing toxic something. indeed, it is wrong and illogical.

And mister above me, no, The perfect religion of Allah forbids that. It is very wrong, and whoever transgresses Allah's orders shall be punished in shaa Allah.

Praise be to Allaah.
It is haraam to drink alcohol or to sell it, carry it or help with it in any way whatsoever, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful” [al-Maa’idah 5:90]

Abu Dawood (3674) and Ibn Maajah (3380) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Al-Tirmidhi (1295) narrated that Anas ibn Maalik said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed ten with regard to alcohol: the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who drinks it, the one who carries it, the one to whom it is carried, the one who pours it, the one who sells it and consumes its price, the one who buys it and the one for whom it is bought.”


It was narrated from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has made a covenant to those who drink alcohol, that He will make them drink teenat al-khabaal.” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, what is teenat al-khabaal?” He said, “The sweat of the people of Hell,” or, “The juice of the people of Hell.” Narrated by Muslim, (3732).

May Allaah help us all to do that which He loves and which pleases Him.

And Allaah knows best.
