[05/11, 11:28 am] Business assistant: If a Muslim is offered a job involving haram (forbidden) activities, they should decline the offer, citing their religious convictions.

The Quran emphasizes earning a halal (lawful) livelihood (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:168). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “A dirham (currency) earned through lawful means is better than a hundred dirhams earned through unlawful means.” (Tirmidhi)

When declining the job offer, Muslims can politely say:

“Thank you for considering me, but I cannot accept this job as it conflicts with my religious values.”

Or:

“I appreciate the opportunity, but I’m unable to participate in activities that go against my faith.”

It’s essential to prioritize one’s values and principles, even if it means forgoing financial gain.
