Fatwa CenterWorking in a Place That Sells Alcohol Along with Lawful Things
Question
Salamalekium, I have two question, first one is that, is it permissible to work in store where there is alcohol candy and bread. And the other question is that I am married and currently I am in the US my wife cannot come here yet, but is it permissible to stay away from ones wife for a long time
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
If you can limit yourself to selling only bread, candy and other lawful items, and you can completely avoid selling alcohol, then there is no harm in working in such a place, otherwise it is forbidden for you to work there.
For your second question, please refer to Fatwa 82147.
For more benefit on the prohibition of alcohol in Islam, please refer to Fataawa 81900, 81389, and 81461.
Allah knows best.
