MINING
Sir, is working in the mining industry haram?
I once read someone’s opinion that jobs like mining for minerals or petroleum are haram because they damage the environment through mining.
He based his argument on a verse from the Quran about environmental destruction caused by human hands.
Is this argument correct?

The cited rule has been incorrectly applied in this context. Human needs inevitably cause environmental damage in various ways. The appropriate response is not to prohibit such activities altogether, but to mitigate their adverse effects and restore the environment through alternative measures.

So, based on your explanation, activities or work that can harm the environment are not automatically considered haram. They can be considered haram if their purpose is specifically to harm the environment and no measures are taken—such as mitigating the impact in specific areas—or no efforts are made to restore the environment.
am i right?
