If you are a man of conviction you wouldn't even seek for people's opinion you will just go ahead and do what you stand for.
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself" Daniel 1:8

The fact that you accepted the job shows that you wanted to work there but want a support from people to back up your embattled conscience. The battle is between you and God. Have you prayed to him (God). I believe God has a way of communicating with you His Mind.
Once there is a will there be a way.

Personally, I don't support Christian taking alcohol on the basis that you can drink and not be drunk. The question I ask is How much alchohol could make a person drunk - 1 bottle, 2 bottle, 3 bottle, 10bottle. You see there is no standard. A pastor that preaches drink and not be drunk will end up having drunkards in his congregation! There is no way you will continue taking alchohol that you will not be drunk for once.

After my graduation I made up my mind not to work in a tobacco or breweries company from the onset nor buy shares of such company. I have come across various adverts from british Tobacco and nigerian breweries of which I am qualified (I made a 2.1 in Elect/Elect) I just by-pass the page and kept on searching for other jobs opportunities. Today I have a good job with a good pay! I mean Six Digit Figure!

Once you decide to stand for something you will weather all storms.

1, By working there, you are contributing to the production of what Allah forbids i.e aiding evil
2, The money you earn from there is unclean, because it is gotten from the sale of forbidden things
3, The Prophet (SAW) said when we see evil we should correct it with our hand, if not capable of doing that, we should correct it with our mouth(i.e talk against it), and if not capable of doing that too, we should correct it with our mind(i.e feel sad that evil is being perpetrated and hate it), and that is the weakest of faith. If a Muslim truly hates (and he should) that some people are disobeying Allah(drinking alcohol), the least he should do is resent it, and I don't know how he can do that if he himself contributes to it.

Please Muslims let's stay away from aiding evil. You cannot die because you don't have job. Better remain unemployed than incur Allah's wrath. What you will eat from cradle till death has been destined. This world is too short. The Hereafter matters most.

However bottomline is your conscience. If it says go ahead, then fine. If not, then don't! God will always provide you with another job that suits your belief.

In other words, if your conscience allows you to kill, you'll do it with immediate effect?

I'm not talking about a seared conscience, am talking about a conscience that is fed with God's word everytime. A heart that's right with God, and not a reprobate heart. Prove your actions with God's word. If after quoting the scripture i quoted in my last post, he feels it's okay for him, then why not? As far as his (right) conscience allows him. Though personally, i won't consider working in a brewery or a tobacco company.

@ sleekymag

We cannot make our judgments based on how our feelings perceives a thing because the TRUTH is not relative but absolute. You can't tell me an orange is a mango just because u feel so. Certainly NO! An orange remains an orange no matter how u feel, so what is wrong remains wrong no matter what your conscience tells u except your 'conscience' here means the 'Spirit of God'

So, I would like to personnaly advise this person to not to take any position in the marketing division or testing division. But he can work in the Accounting Division, IT Division, of the company, in as much as he is not required to test the product or advertise the product to other people. Anyway, he should try and look for a more rewarding Job while he is working there. God Knows Better. Wish you all the Best!

To answer this ? you have to 1st define; who is a xtian? A xtian to me is follower of JESUS CHRIST. Then come the next ? Can Jesus work at a bewery ? The answer to this ? gives you the answer to the former one. God bless you all

Jesus turned water into wine! that should answer the highlighted question.

That was in a wedding and not a brewery. If you ask someone , Can Jesus work in a brothel and he tells you that Jesus forgave mary magdalene who was a harlot and challenged her people to cast stones on her if they've committed no sin, will you consider that as a probable answer?
