Working in companies that have some Haram activities : working for a company whose shares are owned by a gambling company

السؤال

Assalamualaikum, Dear Dr. I have uncertainty about this one, I Work for a plantation company but its shares, majority owned by the gambling business. I might be offered job as an Accountant with this palm oil-plantation company, ABC corp. However, 54 % of its shares belong to DEF corp. whose main activity is in gambling and entertainment. Therefore, ABC became one of company within DEF Group companies. For your info, the founder of both companies is the same person. DEF Corp (Gambling business) was incorporated in 1960s and ABC Corp (Palm oil) in 1970s through the same person. Probably, this person had invested the profit from this Haram business to the plantation business, I'd guess so. I want to know in Islamic perspective, if I worked for ABC Corp, NOT for DEF Corp, would it be Halal or Haram for me ? What about the income, is it definitely Halal or Haram ? Hope to hear a reply from you. Please help me Dr. Wassalam.
