Question

Please advise if it is permissible to work in a shop partially selling musical instruments (on condition when one can not find any other suitable job)?

Answer

If the main business of the shop is permissible, and the employment you are involved in is also of a permissible nature, then it will be permissible for you to work in such a shop.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
