Working in a Multinational Company


Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Question: Is it permissible to work in a Multinational Company? In our country many people are saying that it is not permissible to be employed with them.

Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful

Waalaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

It is in itself permitted to work for a multinational company, if one’s line of work is permissible.

It would be praiseworthy to avoid work with a particular company or organization if they are engaged in reprehensible, harmful, or socially or economically unjust activities, to the extent of the harm–especially if one has alternatives.

When one does work for such a company, one must still at least hate their wrong activities in one’s heart.

And Allah alone gives success.

Wassalam,
