Q: Dear imaam. I work in a hotel. I need a letter that tells I cannot handle pork and alcohol. Your letter would get me assigned to cleaning rooms and not serving prok and beer. Thanks. My MEail is ########@hotmail.com

 

Answer:

To whom it may concern:

The religion of Islam, similar to traditional Judism and Christianity is not in favor of its members consuming or handling pork and serving of alcohol. These products are viewed as impure. People of our faith are called to refrain from being part of such products — serving, consuming, transacting, etc.

Kindly excuse this member of our community from serving or dealing in such products.

Should you have concerns, kindly contact me at (801)652-6362

 

Yours Truly,

Muhammed S. Mehtar
