Help…handling pork

Question:

Salam alekoom to all the staff…Thank you so much for your time and kindness and patience…Jazkum Allah kheir and hope whatever wishes you have in your hearts will come true..

I am working in a supermarket. I arrange the products when they arrive. Some of these products are pork. However, I do not receive any salary on the job that I am doing.

I really really need your opinion on this..

wa alkoom salam.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,
Please, refrain from arranging pork as it is haram to sell pork even to non-Muslims. Swine is considered unlawful and to arrange it for sale is not permissible.

“Any haram to use by oneself is haram to give to another.” (see: Ibn Nujaim, al-Ashbah; Majallah)
