He works as the deputy manager in a hotel that sells alcohol – what is the ruling on his work?
Question

                I work in a hotel as a deputy manager and as manager of reception. Is this job regarded as haraam or makrooh, because the hotel sells alcohol, but I have nothing to do with selling it, buying it, carrying it or serving it – on the contrary my job is solely administrative. Thank you.
Praise be to Allah.
    It is not permissible to work in a hotel in which sins are 
    committed, such as drinking alcohol, zina and so on, because it is helping 
    in sin and transgression and failing to denounce evil. Allaah says 
    (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And it has already been 
    revealed to you in the Book (this Qur’aan) that when you hear the Verses of 
    Allaah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage 
    in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that 
    case you would be like them. Surely, Allaah will collect the hypocrites and 
    disbelievers all together in Hell”
[al-Nisa’ 4:140] 

    Al-Qurtubi said: The words of Allaah “then sit not with 
    them, until they engage in a talk other than that” mean something other 
    than kufr. “(but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you 
    would be like them” this indicates that it is essential to avoid sinners 
    if they are committing evil openly, because the one who does not avoid them 
    is approving of their actions, and approving of kufr is itself kufr. Allaah 
    says “certainly in that case you would be like them”, so everyone who sits 
    in a sinful gathering and does not denounce them shares the burden of sin 
    with them.  

    He should denounce them if they speak sinful words or commit 
    sinful actions; if he is not able to denounce them then he should get up and 
    leave them, so that he will not be among the people mentioned in this 
    verse. 

    It was narrated that ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez (may Allaah be 
    pleased with him) caught some people drinking alcohol, and it was said to 
    him that one of the people present was fasting, but he carried out the 
    punishment on him too and recited this verse: “certainly in that case you 
    would be like them”, i.e., approving of a sin is also sin. Hence the one 
    who did it and the one who approved of it were both punished for sin, so 
    they are all doomed. 

    The similarity between the two does not apply in all aspects, 
    but they may appear to be partners in the sin, because a person is 
    influenced by his companion. 

    Moreover there is the fear that if a person works in such 
    places his faith will become weak and he will lose any sense of gheerah 
    (protective jealousy, pride). The Shaytaan may entice him to commit sin. 
    Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“O you who believe! 
    Follow not the footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan). And whosoever follows the 
    footsteps of Shaytaan (Satan), then, verily, he commands Al‑Fahsha’ [i.e. to 
    commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse)], and Al‑Munkar [disbelief and 
    polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is 
    forbidden in Islam)]”

    [al-Noor 24:21]

    Remember the words of Allaah (interpretation of the 
    meaning): 
“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. And whosoever puts his trust in 
    Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allaah will accomplish his 
    purpose. Indeed Allaah has set a measure for all things”
    [al-Talaaq 65:2-3]

     And the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon 
    him) said: “Whoever gives up a thing for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will 
    compensate him with something better than that.” Classed as saheeh by 
    al-Albaani. Do not forget that no soul will ever die until it has been given 
    its full provision, sooner or later. 

    We ask Allaah to help you to give up this job willingly and 
    to compensate you with something better than it, and to grant you provision 
    by His bounty, and to grant us and you sufficient means from that which is 
    permissible so that we have no need of that which is forbidden. 

    And Allaah knows best.
