Working in interest related companies organizations : working in restaurant serving pork and alcohol

السؤال

[Question One] : Assalamualaikum, I do have more questions and your answers could help me understand this better. You said "Muslim registers records of pork and liquor as a job for her / him". I do not work at the restaurant which will utilize these programs to register any records. I have worked to fix the software program (which is done at their corporate headquarters) which enables the restaurant to do this work. Is there not a difference here ? You also said "Add to it that processing issuance of new credit card is not permissible because it is a part of the Riba contracting." I will only be working on a software program which will do the credit card processing, I am not working at the restaurant to physically process these cards at the cash counters. I will not be bearing witness to any "Riba" contract. Also, the restaurant does not issue the credit cards, it will process them just like any other grocery store or department stores. Could you please explain to me how the work on the software programs is the same as actually "doing inventory" at the store or "bearing witness to Riba" ? I apologize if I may have said anything wrong, but you have more knowledge than I do and I do respect that. But I would like to be able to fully understand this, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Regards, [Question Two] : Assalamualaikum, Could you let me know if it is permissible to work in the IT departments of companies which sell pizzas, alcohol, pastas, and other non-Halal products ? They would work on the POS (point of sale systems) which involve credit card processing applications (programs), as well as programs to maintain inventory of food items, programs to calculate pricing of various items (which will include Haram items too), etc. Note that this work involves only technical skills. Please let me know. Thanks, Sumera.
