  • Working As Media Buyer For Advertising Products That Are Haram

    Posted by Hassaan Adil on August 22, 2025 at 4:02 pm

    Aoa, hopefully you are fine.
    Sir i have been working with a client who is advertising things like FTDs, and cannabis,
    now i have been working with him for almost a month now, and my family needs this money too but,
    i have been very very skeptical about it, to either leave it right away or just drag it, till i find something else.
    I don’t like it , nor encourage it, but still i am doing it, because i have to meet my family expenses.
    Can you please tell me, either i should leave it right away or to drag it till a better halal opportunity?
    Thankyou

    {irrelevant , can skip if busy}
    (btw, I am a huge fan of Ghamidi Sahab, currently listening to Philosophy series,
    please, if someone can here deliver this msg to him that we want his lectures on literature too, he is such a knowledgeable person and that lectures would be an asset )

    As a principle, one should not engage with a Company whose primary business activity is Haram. However, In case of extreme compulsion (‘iztirar‘) where it becomes a matter of life and death for a person, one is allowed to commit a prohibited activity. An individual needs to decide for himself, whether or not he is faced with such a situation.

    I’d suggest you to keep looking for a better alternative while keeping this job, because it seems like your situation falls under iztirar because of extreme financial constraints in the absence of this job. But you are a better judge of your situation.

    Please also watch the following videos of Ghamidi Sahab:
