I have to touch bacon whilst working in the bakery
Question
i work in a bakery and recently they told me i have to touch bacon and make harram sandwiches is this allowed if yes/no why please?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is not permissible for you to touch the bacon (pork) as it is najis (impure). You should try and avoid any contact with it. If you are compelled, you should seek another suitable alternate job and quit this job. Until then repent to Allah for your shortcoming.
And Allah knows best
