Question: Seeking halal income and sustenance
Salam, my name is Ahmad and I’m 21 living in USA, my question is what do I need to do for my dua to be accepted? Currently I live with my parents, because I’m dependent on them. My Dad who is the primary provider of the house, his income is haram, and our house is bought with RIBA. I work in a grocery store in the produce section where about 5-7 percent of the products have bacon, like the salads. My question is is my job halal, or would that make it haram. Also what do I and my family need to for our duas to be accepted. Please pray for me and my family that Allah SWT suffices us with that which is halal so we may leave the haram. Because duas of people who have haram sustenance income food clothing are not accepted. What if I make dua to Allah the one which I asked above would he accept my dua since I’m trying to make a change or would It still be rejected. Please advise, may Allah reward you

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الجواب حامداومصليا May Allah provide you and your family with Halal provisions and make your matters ease for you. Ameen It is highly important to work in Halal job so that your income is pure so that your food, clothing and shelter is pure. Working in a grocery store where your job role is specific with the handling of alcohol and Haram products then your job and income is impermissible. However, if it is not then you must see if the grocery store majority income generates from alcohol and Haram products then in this case it will not be permissible. One should work only in such job roles where there is no contact of alcohol and Haram products and the stores majority income is not from these products. Allah is Al Razzaq, The All Provider. Pray to Allah to grant you provision. والله خير الرازقين “Allah is the best of providers.”(Jumuah:11) And Allah knows best 27 Rajab 1447/ 16 January 2026
