The answer

If the intent of the question is that the questioner works for a company that produces or sells alcohol, then this work is impermissible as it involves promoting evil. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed ten categories of people in relation to alcohol: (its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, its drinker, its carrier, the one to whom it is carried, its server, the one who consumes its price, its buyer, and the one for whom it is bought). One must immediately leave this job. The money earned from it is ill-gotten and must be disposed of by donating it to charitable projects, and one should hasten to repent and seek forgiveness. Sustenance is apportioned and is not attained through disobedience to Allah. Whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
