My brother is working in Maersk shipping lines as second officier. As we know shipping lines carry the bulk of the goods from place to place which sometimes includes Alcohol and pork as well. Is it inappropriate for him to be part of the job or should he continue with his job. What can i suggest him.

My question is about the permissibility of selling women’s clothing such as kurtis, salwar (indian wear). Is there any prohibition in selling these. Majority of the buyers would be non muslim women as I live in India.

Would it be permissible to work as a janitor where i sweep floors, dust shelves, clean windows/bathrooms in a store that sells alcohol/pork? I tried to get a position with them as a produce team member but was rejected. I’m in desperate need of a job and this is the most halal position I’ve come across. Everything here in the US seems to be haram. Bakery stores make you write happy birthday, etc.
