Ruling on jobs

SaveHaram Jobs in Islam
1- Some jobs are haram in and of themselves such as working in riba-based banks and places where alcohol is sold. 2- Some jobs may be haram because of things in the work-place that are contrary to Shari`ah such as mixing between men and women, or because it is stipulated that one should wear haram clothing or do other things that are contrary to Shari`ah such as shaving the beard. It is not permissible for the Muslim to do either type of job. However, there are guidelines to be followed and some exceptions in cases of need and when certain evils are unavoidable.SaveRuling on giving a kickback or bribe to a consulting engineering company if they give them a project contract

SaveWhat Does Islam Say about high-status Jobs?
1- Islam does not prevent one from seeking a high-status occupation and a good job. Rather Islam encourages that and urges Muslims to seek a better level and better situation; in fact, they should seek what is best and strive to attain it, on condition that they do not give precedence to that over their faith and pursuit of righteousness. 2- What many people think about some occupations – such as carpentry, blacksmithing and tending flocks – being lowly, is not correct, and to refute that view it is sufficient to note that these were the occupations and work of the best of Allah’s creation, namely the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them). 3- Seeking high status occupations and high status positions is not permissible except for one who attains them in a rightful manner and uses them in a rightful manner. 4- The fact that Islam urges the Muslim to seek the highest level in both religious and worldly terms is not contrary to contentment with the divine decree and what Allah has allotted to him, because one of the means of attaining that is taking appropriate measures.SaveNot disclosing some work experience when applying for a job
