Question Summary:
Working in the IT Dept of an Aluminium Company

Question Detail:

I recently interviewed at a company that processes Aluminum. This Aluminum is mainly sold to the Auto industry to be used in making cars and trucks. The aluminum is also sold to beverage companys like Coke and the aluminum is also sold to companies that use the aluminum rolls to make cans for Alcohol or tops for bottles of Alcohol. My job will be in the IT department mainly dealing with middleware communication between the manufacuring plant and our other IT departments.
This position would provide me with more money than what I currently make. Is it permissible to take such a job? Please refer to this site if you need more information about the company: http://www.novelis.com/en-us/Pages/Markets-We-Serve.aspx

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to work in the IT department of the aluminium company in reference as there is no active participation in haram.[1]
