Salam walaikum
I hope you are doing well my brother.
My question is regarding working in a betting shop and i seek advice and guidance from you in regards to the issue I am going to present here.
I have been deviated for a long time but alhamdulillah started practicing the deen from 2009 onwards. Now, I have been working in this betting shop from long before that. I have been well aware of the prohibition of gambling and being involved in it indirectly by working at a place where gambling is taking place, I understand it is not something permitted even though I am not betting myself.
I do not wish to work here anymore however having graduated in Computing I have been finding it impossible to find a job in IT or any other job over the past 2 years. I am 26 and have a wife to look after and possibly a budding family soon. I had come to study in the UK from Bangladesh. I do not have my own family here but my in laws live here in the UK who are not aware as to where I work.
I want to leave this job but with no other source of income I wouldn't be able to pay the rent and all other bills.
I appreciate your time and effort and seek an advice to resolving this issue.
Jazak Allah
