say you need the money , and it's not easy to find new job and guarantee u will stay for it with long. now you work in a department in grocery store which sells and cook ribs (pork) and ham. there are other products as well, such are chicken beef and salads . so you subtract the time working in ribs from ur paycheck and give it to the poor, and u kept the rest of money for urself. can the money you recieve from this job allowed in Islam?

I think that if you need to survive, Allah is most forgiving and merciful and will not condemn you for working in a less than ideal environment, but you should continue to look for halal work and not content yourself that you are making up for the sin of distrubuting haram meats by giving to charity.

man i think it's not good but if u don't have any toher job and since u hvae mentioned that u can;t find another job i think iy's okey cuz 4 example when u r dying of hunger and u see pork and u know that's haram to eat it but u have to cuz u cannot kill ur self i think these 2 have the same situation
so i think it's okey to work in a place like that i m not saying he/she should be staying there for the rest of their live's but the should go and find another job.
okey if ur the one then i u should move on to another job.

muslims shouldnt eat it, period. but Allah says that when conditions are worse and when one has no alternative, then even the haram(forbidden) becomes halal. and when one gives charity from such a job where one is in contact with the forbidden, then there is a sure forgiveness and reward.
the only money that is not to be taken and to be given in charity or earned, is -- THROUGH INTERESTS AND ILLEGAL/UNFAIR TAXES.

purple meat factories are privately owned companies. So possibly you meant artwork in a soup kitchen allotting purple meat yummies? they supply waivers to prisoners for religious motives.

They sell ham sandwiches at my local shop run by strict Muslims. I think if they don't have to eat it, what's the big deal?

no it is forbidden to sell and work with pork products period.we have to put our faith in allah(Swt) that he will help us with our situation. plus allah(Swt) will not put anything on us that we can not handle. we are all put thru a test to test our loyality and our love to the creator to see if we would make the correct choices in life.
