One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
I`m
working at company that owns hotels and i`m working with them as an owner
representative engineer at new under construction hotel as we all know that
will be alcohol served at the hotel what about my salary is it halal or haram?
(There may be some grammatical and spelling

Answer:
Working to build hotel alcohol
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 2 (part):
…..Help ye one
another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and
rancor: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment.
If one is absolutely convinced that the place one is
helping to design or construct will be used for dealing in what has clearly
been declared as ‘haraam’ by Allah and His Messenger (saws), then it would be
best, purest, and akin to piety and righteousness for the believer who sincerely
fears Allah and the Last Day to abstain from taking any part in facilitating
such an operation. If one facilitates or
helps build the premises, knowing that the premises one is helping construct
will be used to deal in a product or operation which has been declared ‘haraam’
by Allah and His Messenger (saws), he indeed will share an appropriate portion
and burden of the sin according to the level of his participation.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
