To yet a long story short, a guy said he worked at supermarket where he has to sell alcohol and pork and other haram stuff etc and he knew it was wrong.So the four scholars present at the talk all highly regarded and from different Madhabs said you get paid whether or not you sell alcohol for Haram items you get paid for your services but all long as you do not consume these items Allah is All Merciful, All Forgiving and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

They also added that almost all jobs in the western world are haram from medicine to law and accountants due to riba, meddling in peoples business and the haram ailments used. And the only real Halal Jobs are to become a Imam/scholar or builsing your own business up from the ground up as long as you don't rip someone of while doing so.

So I would like your guys opinions on this.

In the Shafi madhab, if the income of a place of a mixed sources... Then a muslim can work there and believe that their incomes comes from the halal parts... The main product of a grocery store isn't alcohol or pork... It is food in general. So I wouldn't worry about little stuff like that... You are just making life difficult on you...

Here is a rule in fiqh... if everything is haram than everything become halal... Within reason of course....

and allah knows best...
