Is Income Halal While Working In Company Who Helps War Industry?
Thank you. I had one more question. I have been offered a job but i saw another advertisement for a job based in another city. i wanted to apply to that job that because i wanted to be close to my family (uncles, aunt) but I had some reservations. According to my research the company that has offered this job works on or works for different companies including Atco Electric. Atco Electric is a utility company which only works on residential, commercial, industrial and municipal projects but is kind of a subsidiary of the Atco group. The Atco group has other businesses or subsidiaries too . This group also does projects for the military and probably NATO in terms of comprehensive logistics, operational and in-service support solutions . They also provided services during the Afghan war. According to this group, they started their business in 1947 to provide accommodation to workers in Canada’s first oil boom. Modular housing’s rapidly growing demand led to the opening of ATCO’s original manufacturing facility in the city of Airdrie, a former hangar of the Canadian Airforce. This group has also worked in the Middle East in the mid to late seventies , they did massive housing projects for thousands of workers in the middle East. According to my research, I think that they earn money from normal projects and invest it into other businesses or open new businesses that provide services to the military because they started with businesses that donot work with military but now they have businesses which work with or for the military. i think this, because they came into the utilities business in 1980 and according to their website the earliest track i have of them working for the military or NATO is in late 1980s. My question is that is it O.k to work for such a company.
