I have been here in the US for more than a year as an international student. my sister pays for my tution and get me all the things I need. and lately she is having loads of things to take care back home in africa. So I was offered a job at ihop by a muslim friend, but the thing is he said they served pork, but I decline it.
Q1. As things are getting harder for my sister, I came to think, can I get that job ( as a dishwasher) till I have a different job?
Q2. what about braiding in a saloon, ( to non muslims) artificial hair to the woman?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
It is not permissible to work in restaurants that serve alcohol or pork, even as a dishwasher, because that is helping in haraam things. See question no. 681
Secondly:
It is not permissible to work in beauty salons that offer the haram services mentioned, such as hair extensions and plucking (eyebrows), even if that is for non-Muslims, because the minor issues of shariah are also addressed to the kuffar and the same things are forbidden for them as are forbidden for Muslims. So it is not permissible to help them in haram things. Please see question no. 120891
Perhaps if you look and try hard you will find permissible work in the field of printing or teaching children and the like.
“And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
3. And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things” [At-Talaq 65:2-3].
We ask Allah to guide us and you and make us and you steadfast.
And Allah knows best.
