The answer

It is forbidden for a Muslim to sell tobacco and other prohibited items in Muslim and non-Muslim lands. It is also impermissible to work in an establishment whose primary activity is forbidden. As for entities whose primary activity is permissible but include some forbidden activities, it is permissible to work there, provided that the Muslim does not directly engage in the forbidden act, nor directly assist in it. Regarding the limit of necessity that permits forbidden work, please refer to no. 141838.
