**yPuqQ248** · 05-07-2012, 12:52 AM

a cashier would 'handle' alcohol if a consumer purchased it when they are scanning it?? A janitor may also have to handle it or may have to clean a broken bottle of alcohol?

taking into consideration your statement .. my question now is .. can one work in a supermarket(not handle or sell alcohol) but the wage you recieve has some earnings from this alcohol?

a cashier selling liquor is included in the 10 categories of the people cursed in the above hadith. A janitor working in a supermarket that sells liquor (as one of thousands other items being sold there), is NOT included in any of the 10 categories stated.

Similarly, a person working as grape picker in a grape farm, but the owner of the grape farm sells the grape to a winery... the grape picker is also NOT included in the above 10 categories of acursed people. ie... it is not haram (not a sin) to work as grape picker even though the owner of the grape farm sells the grapes to a winery). However, people who have taqwa will avoid this...

Please refer to a qualified alim in your area for further explaination.

wallaahu a'lam.
