00:00:00.000 One time we had, when we had a Chasington for the family event.
00:00:30.000 Chasington for the family event.
00:00:34.000 Many du'at came, and then Sheikh Abdul Karim, you can edit this, huh?
00:00:41.000 Sheikh Abdul Rahim Green came.
00:00:43.000 And we had, what is that game?
00:00:50.000 Which game?
00:00:51.000 Cricket?
00:00:52.000 No, the snake, what is it?
00:00:55.000 That move quickly.
00:00:57.000 The roller coaster.
00:00:58.000 Roller coaster.
00:00:59.000 You went on the roller coaster?
00:01:00.000 Yes.
00:01:01.000 Yeah.
00:01:02.000 Then, yeah, let me mention this.
00:01:05.000 And then, Sheikh Abdul Rahim Green came, and I said, MashaAllah, Sheikh Abdul Rahim Green,
00:01:09.000 and the people were around us.
00:01:11.000 And they said, oh, Sheikh Abdul Rahim, okay.
00:01:13.000 And Sheikh Haytham, why don't you go on roller coaster? 0.90
00:01:17.000 And Sheikh Abdul Rahim said, well, you know, yes and no, yes and no.
00:01:23.000 I said, come on, come on, come on.
00:01:24.000 And then he said, no time.
00:01:25.000 So, we went and the people said to the officer, please, please, let them go.
00:01:30.000 So, we went together.
00:01:32.000 Wallahi, to be honest with you, it's a bit scary.
00:01:36.000 And, Sheikh Abdul Rahim, all of the time, he was saying, la ilaha illallah, astaghfirullah, la ilaha illallah, astaghfirullah.
00:01:46.000 And he was holding it firmly.
00:01:49.000 You should see me on the plane, Sheikh.
00:01:50.000 Yeah.
00:01:51.000 On the plane.
00:01:52.000 And then, I was laughing.
00:01:54.000 I was laughing.
00:01:55.000 And then, at the end, I said, astaghfirullah. 0.95
00:01:58.000 Sheikh Abdul Rahim is making dhikr of Allah, Jalla Ala, and I'm just making. 0.99
00:02:03.000 Laughing.
00:02:04.000 I said, astaghfirullah.
00:02:05.000 And I started making dhikr with him.
00:02:08.000 And it was really a very nice experience, along with Sheikh Abdul Rahim Green.
00:02:12.000 And then, you know, the camera, they did not have, like, yeah, we did not have a proper picture.
00:02:19.000 At that time, I don't know.
00:02:20.000 We did not take selfie, me and Sheikh Abdul Rahim Green.
00:02:23.000 Anyway, but this is part of the experience.
00:02:26.000 Okay, assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters.
00:02:28.000 Welcome to Ask the Sheikh again. 0.93
00:02:31.000 Well, Ask the Sheikh, another episode. 0.70
00:02:34.000 Today's question is, we had an email from a sister who works in Tesco,
00:02:39.000 and she's asking that, obviously, she's supporting her family.
00:02:43.000 She has no other choice.
00:02:44.000 Is she allowed to serve alcohol or touch pork, et cetera? 0.99
00:02:50.000 Is she allowed to do that? 1.00
00:02:51.000 Yeah.
00:02:52.000 Okay, this is a good question.
00:02:53.000 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
00:02:54.000 Alhamdulillah.
00:02:55.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
00:02:56.000 First of all, it is good that you put that disclaimer that she has no choice but to work.
00:03:01.000 Okay?
00:03:02.000 To support her family.
00:03:03.000 Yeah.
00:03:04.000 Because I'm not always in favour of sisters working in different places.
00:03:10.000 Yeah.
00:03:11.000 Yeah?
00:03:12.000 Because we want our sisters really to be the best mothers.
00:03:16.000 And this is another story, I'm sure, that provokes many sisters.
00:03:20.000 Because many of them, they want to have careers, they want to have this and that.
00:03:24.000 And at the end of the day, they ruin their real career, which is motherhood.
00:03:29.000 Yes.
00:03:30.000 Maybe we can talk, we can talk about this another time, inshaAllah.
00:03:32.000 Yeah.
00:03:33.000 But apart from that, okay, assuming that she is genuinely needs that job and she did not
00:03:40.000 have any other choice.
00:03:41.000 Yeah.
00:03:42.000 And we will focus on the issue of serving alcohol and touching pork, et cetera.
00:03:47.000 Yeah.
00:03:48.000 Okay.
00:03:49.000 First of all, you know, in this country and in the West in general, it is very rare for anyone,
00:03:56.000 okay, a brother or a sister, to find a job that is purely halal, that is free from any 1.00
00:04:03.000 haram.
00:04:04.000 In fact, as some people said, that these days, you know, these days, it is very difficult
00:04:10.000 to find a job that is purely halal, even in Muslim countries.
00:04:15.000 Yeah.
00:04:16.000 Okay.
00:04:17.000 They all have some elements of, you know, some haram things.
00:04:20.000 Yeah.
00:04:21.000 So, the question is, which haram can be overlooked and which haram cannot be overlooked.
00:04:29.000 Yeah.
00:04:30.000 Now, the haram that can be overlooked is the haram that does not lead to a huge facade.
00:04:39.000 Yeah.
00:04:40.000 Yeah.
00:04:41.000 Uh, for example, no one is allowed to work where, in a pornography industry.
00:04:48.000 Yeah.
00:04:49.000 Because that leads to a huge facade.
00:04:50.000 Yeah.
00:04:51.000 Okay.
00:04:52.000 Uh, even banking system, it should be avoided.
00:04:56.000 Yeah.
00:04:57.000 Now, with this issue of Khamar, it is true that Khamar leads to a facade. 0.52
00:05:02.000 Drinking alcohol leads to a facade.
00:05:04.000 Yeah.
00:05:05.000 As a scholar said about Khamar, it is Ummul Khabai.
00:05:08.000 But, the amount of dealing with Khamar in working for Tesco or Sainsbury or the likes of 0.97
00:05:14.000 that is minimum.
00:05:16.000 Yeah.
00:05:17.000 Is minimum.
00:05:18.000 And you are not really facilitating that.
00:05:22.000 Mm-hmm.
00:05:23.000 And you are not selling it.
00:05:24.000 You are just passing, uh, or, or, uh, you are not even serving it.
00:05:29.000 Yeah.
00:05:30.000 You are just, uh, what is it?
00:05:31.000 Scanning.
00:05:32.000 Scanning.
00:05:33.000 Yeah.
00:05:34.000 Or, you are just moving the box.
00:05:35.000 Okay.
00:05:36.000 So, you are not selling.
00:05:37.000 Yeah.
00:05:38.000 You are not selling alcohol.
00:05:39.000 Selling means you own it and you sell it.
00:05:41.000 Yeah.
00:05:42.000 Okay.
00:05:43.000 Same thing with pork. 0.96
00:05:44.000 So, if it is minimum, inshallah, it can be overlooked.
00:05:48.000 However, we ask brothers and sisters to try their best to find the minimum haram.
00:05:54.000 Yeah.
00:05:55.000 Yeah.
00:05:56.000 To find the jobs with the minimum haram.
00:05:57.000 Yeah.
00:05:58.000 And also, try to speak to the, uh, yeah, any management.
00:06:01.000 Yeah.
00:06:02.000 Yeah.
00:06:03.000 Whether in Tesco or in any other of these super stores.
00:06:05.000 Yeah.
00:06:06.000 Yeah.
00:06:07.000 They should work only in halal, uh, facilities.
00:06:11.000 If they can, yeah.
00:06:12.000 Yeah.
00:06:13.000 If they can.
00:06:14.000 Inshallah.
00:06:15.000 Okay.
00:06:16.000 Thank you, Chef, for that answer.
00:06:17.000 May Allah bless you.
00:06:18.000 Guys, if you want...
00:06:19.000 The basis for the answer that we have given is Allah said to us,
00:06:24.000 Fear Allah as much as you can. 0.99
00:06:27.000 Yeah.
00:06:28.000 Yeah.
00:06:29.000 And that is the, uh, yeah, this is the basis.
00:06:32.000 And the scholars mention number of examples, uh, of when the haram prevails.
00:06:39.000 Yeah.
00:06:40.000 And this is the way to deal with it.
00:06:41.000 Okay.
00:06:42.000 Guys, thank you for, uh, your questions.
00:06:43.000 Uh, you can ask, uh, Ask the Sheikh at our email, askthasheikh.com.
