Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

In principle, it is permissible for a Muslim to work as a bodyguard as long as this profession does not necessitate committing an Islamic prohibition.

It should be noted that the scholars held that it is forbidden for a Muslim to work as a hired person – whether a bodyguard or anything else – for a non-Muslim if it involves humiliation of the Muslim. Allaah says (what means): {…and never will Allaah give the disbelievers over the believers a way [to overcome them].} [Quran 4:141]

Moreover, Huthayfah narrated that the Prophet said: “A Muslim should not humiliate himself.” [Ahmad, At-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah]

Allaah Knows best.
