AL-KAFI #681: HUKUM PENDAPATAN YANG DIJANA DARIPADA SYARIKAT YANG TIDAK BERSTATUS SIJIL HALAL
Is income earned from working at a food and beverage company without halal certification, which used to sell alcohol, considered haram?
Short answer
Income from the sale of mixed halal and haram goods is not haram to receive but is disliked (makruh), since it is not certain that the payment comes purely from haram sources.

Summary
Income from the sale of mixed halal and haram goods is not haram to receive but is disliked (makruh), since it is not certain that the payment comes purely from haram sources. A worker directly involved in selling alcohol, for example at the counter, commits a haram act. Employers are encouraged to separate counters or staff for halal and haram goods, and workers are advised to seek employment free from doubtful elements.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika pendapatan yang mereka perolehi ialah daripada hasil jualan barang-barang yang halal dan haram, maka hukumnya adalah tidak haram mengambilnya tetapi makruh.
