Is it permissible for him in his job to help jobseekers to work in haraam organisations?
Question

                I am an HR professional in India. Recently, I got selected as HR Coordinator in a Recruitment Company, which provides skilled manpower to various types of industries like Oil & Gas, Construction, Manufacturing etc. My problem is that, among all other types of companies, my boss has asked me to coordinate the recruitments to banks, insurance companies and breweries (alcoholic), which are among the most promising sectors in India, from the economic perspective. While I always stay out of riba-based institutions and insurance companies, i doubt if it would be right to direct job-seekers towards such jobs. Though the majority of the job-seekers are non-Muslims and have no issues working with banks and insurance companies, I still feel that I would be sinning if I assist them in seeking jobs in banks. Please advise.
Praise be to Allah.
      Working in riba-based banks, insurance companies and 
      breweries is not permissible, and it is not permissible for you to help 
      them in doing evil, whether that is by sending workers to work with them 
      or other ways of helping in committing sin that Allah has forbidden. 

    That is because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, 
    righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and 
    transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment”

    [al-Maa’idah 5:2].

    Just as Allah has forbidden us to disobey Him, He has 
    forbidden us to help the sinner in his disobedience. 

    Muslim narrated in his Saheeh (2674) from Abu Hurayrah 
    (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and 
    peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever calls others to guidance will 
    have a reward like that of those who follow it, without that detracting from 
    their reward in the slightest. And whoever calls others to misguidance will 
    have a burden of sin like that of those who follow it, without it detracting 
    from their burden in the slightest.” 

    Al-Manaawi said: 

    The one who calls others to good is like the one who does it; 
    if (the one who is called) does that good deed, then he (the one who called 
    him) will have a reward like his, otherwise he will have a reward for 
    calling him. And the one who calls others to evil is like one who does it, 
    because he helped him and he will bear a burden of sin like that of the one 
    who does it, even if he does not do it himself.

    End quote from Fayd al-Qadeer, 3/716-717 

    Based on that, offering services to help people find jobs in 
    such companies and organizations is not permitted. But with regard to other 
    sectors such as gas and petroleum companies and the like, there is nothing 
    wrong with it. 

    The fact that most of the jobseekers are not Muslim does not 
    alter the ruling, because this is helping in something that Allah has made 
    haraam and forbidden to all people. And what is haraam is forbidden to both 
    Muslims and non-Muslims. 

    The rulings of sharee‘ah which are addressed to the believers 
    are also addressed to the kuffaar, as is the view of the scholars. 

    Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

    It should be noted that the favoured view is that the minor 
    issues of sharee‘ah, both commands and prohibitions, are also addressed to 
    the kuffaar. This is the view of the majority of scholars. End quote. 

    Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about 
    sewing for a Christian a silken belt on which there are gold crosses; is 
    there any sin on the one who sews it? 

    He replied: 

    Yes, if one helps a man in disobedience towards Allah, he is 
    sinning because he is helping in sin and transgression. If that is the case 
    if one helps in sin, then how about helping in kufr (disbelief) and the 
    symbols of kufr? 

    End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa, 22/141. 

    The scholars of the Standing Committee said:

     It is well known in Islam that the major and minor issues of 
    sharee‘ah are also addressed to the kuffaar… So it is not permissible for a 
    Muslim to help them in ignoring that which Allah has enjoined upon them. 

    End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 14/475 

    Moreover, these sectors cause a great deal of harm to both 
    Muslims and non-Muslims, so helping those who are in charge of them brings 
    harm to the Muslims too. 

    So it is not permissible for you to help anyone in doing evil 
    actions or pointing the way to that. 

    What you should do is guide jobseekers to jobs in permissible 
    activities. If that is not possible and you have to direct them towards 
    haraam kinds of work, then you should change your job and find other work 
    that is permissible. “And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to 
    Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).3. And He 
    will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine” [al-Talaaq 65:2-3]. 
    And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate 
    him with something better than it. 

    And Allah knows best.
