Question

It is well established that arms companies such as BAE Systems and Elbit Systems supply the Israeli military with a range of weapons that have been used and continue to be used in Gaza. Is it permissible to work for such a company?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم

Answer

It is not permissible to work for an arms company that manufactures and supplies arms which are used to kill innocent people.
