Question

Is it permissible to work in a company which i heard- is jewish in origin and the revenue from it is spent on anti islamic activities?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, it is permissible for a Muslim to work for a non-Muslim company that does not deal or produce un-Islamic products for example pork and wine etc.

However, if you feel that a company is anti-Islam and anti-Muslims, then you should not work in such a company.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
