Fatwa 7294English

Question

I am current a part-time staff at a Christian organisation. I am involvement with an outreach project for young school children. It is a community project and I do get payed. Is it permissible for me to work at this organisation

Answer

It is obvious that a Christian organization is established to propagate Christian based value system and principles. The outreach project for children at the christian organization will also be supported by christian beliefs. It is therefore not permissible to work for the organization. If you are desperate and have to support yourself and your dependants, then you will be excused to work there If you have no adequate alternative.
