i’m thinking about applying @ iceland store for a part-time job and i wanted to know something, i know they sell frozen meat (not halal) would it be wrong for me to touch it and stock it et cetera i’m clear on the alcohol issue and i think i can make my line manager understand about the alcohol issue and let me work elsewhere but u know wat its like @ store’s… i can’t geta way with it all so plz tell me if its wrong or wat have u.
Re: is touching haram meat alllowed?
I don’t think ‘touching’ haram meet is forbidden. It’s eating that is forbidden.
i knew eating it is forbidden matey 
huh.. this is like the most ridiculous thing to be worried about!?
yes if you accidently touch those pork chops the guy behind you placed on the check out thingy at the register you will go straight to hell!!
Unless you have some sort of receptors that digest food through your hands, touching non-zabiha meat is kosher/halaal.
Re: is touching haram meat alllowed?
You can do the job, if you cannot find another one.
agr job nahe mil rahee than work there. Otherwise NO.
Like koi aur job search karooo.
and surely they sell alcoholic products there (wine etc), and being any linkof the chain of wine selling/distribution is not allowed in Islam....
so give it a second thought....
as i mentioned mughal pagheee i can talk my line manager to be into keeping me away from alcohol i have agood argument against that but i wasn’t sure about touching or stocking non-halal meat… now that i calriyed 2 i think me needs to look elsewhere 
nevermind i live to fight another day.
many thanks coc’ good reply and others :k:
Rules Regarding Purchase and Sale
- It is recommended for a business man to learn the rules of daily transactions. In fact, if due to ignorance, he may necessarily contradict the laws of Shariah, then it is obligatory upon him to learn. Imam Ja'far Sadiq (A.S.) is reported to have said: "A person who wishes to engage in business, should learn its rules and laws, and if he makes any transaction without learning them, he may suffer because of entering into a void or doubtful transactions".
- If a person is not aware, because of ignorance about the relevant laws, whether the transaction made by him is valid or void, he cannot have any discretion over the property which he has acquired, unless he knows that the other party has no objection to it. In any case, the transaction remains void.
If a person does not possess any wealth, and it is obligatory on him to maintain his dependents, like, his wife and children, he should start earning. Moreover, to earn is recommended for Mustahab acts like providing better means of livelihood to one's family, and helping the poor persons.
Mustahab Acts
- The following are Mustahab in connection with sale and purchase: (i) One should not discriminate between various buyers while charging for the commodities, except in the case of poor people.
(ii) One should not be adamant about the prices, unless one feels that one is being duped or cheated.
(iii) One should give a little more of the thing one sells, and should take a little less of the thing which one buys.
(iv) If the buyer regrets having purchased something, and wishes to return it, the seller should accept it back.
Makrooh Transactions
- * The following are Makrooh transactions: (i) To sell the land, except when one wishes to purchase another land with its proceeds.
(ii) To be a butcher.
(iii) To make shroud selling one's vocation.
(iv) To enter into transaction with people of low character.
(v) To transact a deal between the Fajr prayers and sunrise.
(vi) To make it one's vocation to buy or sell wheat and barley, or other similar commodities.
(vii) To interfere in a deal being carried out by a Muslim, and make one's own offer.
Haraam Transactions
- * There are many Haraam deals and businesses, some are mentioned below:
(i) To sale and purchase intoxicating beverages, non-hunting dogs, pigs, an unslaughtered carcass (as a precaution). Besides, if a permissible use of Najisul Ayn is possible, like, excrement and faeces being converted to manure or fertilisers, its transaction is permitted, but as a precaution, such sale and purchase should be avoided.
(ii) Sale and purchase of usurped property.
(iii) As a precaution, it is haraam to sell and purchase those things which are not usually considered to be merchandise, like, the sale and purchase of wild beasts, if it does not involve any substantial gain.
(iv) Any transaction which involves interest.
(v) Sale and purchase of those things which are usually utilised for haraam acts only, like, gambling tools.
(vi) A transaction which involves fraud or adulteration, like, when one commodity is mixed with another, and it is not possible to detect the adulteration, nor does the seller inform the buyer about it, like, to sell ghee mixed with fat. This act is called cheating (ghish) or adulteration. The holy Prophet of Islam (s.a.w.a) said: "If a person makes a deceitful transaction with the Muslims, or puts them to a loss, or cheats them, he is not one of my followers. And when a person cheats his fellow Muslim (i.e. sells him an adulterated commodity), Allah deprives him of Blessings in his livelihood, closes the means of his earnings, and leaves him to himself."
