I got a job @ Macdonalds i'll be a cashier...

what do you all think?

I'll be taking peoples orders, wont be cooking. No heat!

I'm a little bit nervous, I start on thursday.

Its just across the street so its of convinience.

Have any of yous worked at macs be4?
 
:sl:

correct me if im wrong...

doesn’t almost all of McDonalds’ food contain bacon (pork = haram)?
as Muslims, it is our duty to earn living through halal means
it is haram to sell wat is forbidden
we cant eat, touch, nor sell pork

there’s also a hadith..
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said ::
“When Allaah forbids eating a thing, He also forbids its price.”
Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawood

Allah says in the Quran..
“...but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.” (Surah al-Maa'idah 5:2)


may Allah make it easy for u
ameen

maybe he's working in a halal certified McD
 
I've worked at McDonald's before when I was 16 before I was Muslim. It wasn't that bad just a lot of hard work if your busy.
 
:sl:

Yup, we gotta be careful were we work. I want to look for an easy halal job. :D

I know Mcdonalds in the united states sell bacon, and selling anything Haram is haram.
 
They are halal McD in Malaysia :D

and also i think there is a halal McD in london near tudor road.
 
McDonalds in Indonesia are pork-free and they are certified halal By Majlis Ulema Indonesia
Actually, all fast food restaurants in Indonesia are pork-free

:sl: Sister,

You mean, before I WAS Muslim? So this is better, "..................when I was 16 before I became Muslim." It sound like you were Muslim before, you are still Muslim today, correct ! :statisfie
 
Dear Anonymous,

All scholars agree that it is forbidden to work at a restaurant that serves forbidden products such as pork or alcohol even if the employment environment is not so good. Only if you are about to starve may you accept such work (you need to be unable to get your day's meal), where it is still forbidden but the Shariah considers your work a necessity and therefore you will be forgiven.

Working at a McDonalds that is serving pork products or food cooked in pork fat or alcohol based sauces is haram even if you are only working as a cashier. The prophet -pbuh- said: "God curse the jews, when pork fat was forbidden on them, they packed it and sold it, and took its price". As an employee serving the company that profits from forbidden business, you are helping them in it and is assisting them in harm and transgression تعاون على الإثم والعدوان.

If the work is in a halal certified McDonalds or one that does not use forbidden pork and alcohol, your work is fine.

God knows best.
 
sis ask a scholar weather its halal or not. everywhere in Europe the majority sell pork. i once asked a scholar about it and he said because of the fact you are living in the west and you cannot find any other job and you dont have any money and your hands are tied then Allah allows it. your selling that food to hungry non muslims not muslims but get a second opinion from a scholar
 
I didnt expect people to tell me its haram, i was more xpecting something along the lines as ''your a sister people might be rude to you'', but fatwas and harams didnt expect that.:muddlehea

I'm starting tomorrow, I made the manager a promise that I will work I cant decide all of a sudden not to show up. That will make me look like a liar, especially after she gave me a job after rejecting 7 other people that same day.:hmm:
 
^Or you could just be honest with her and tell her you recently discovered that the job compromises you religious values, and that you appreciate it, but you won't be able to work there.
 
Like i said im not cooking anything,
im taking peoples orders
wont be touching anything haram
theres no alcohol

I need to show myself that im capable of doing this
It will be my first job, Allah knows that my hearts not bad.

anyone who lives in a kufar country is bound to come in touch wit haram (not intentionally) but it happens. No one can guarantee that all your jobs are 100 halal.
