avoid in most cases though most of the income is through gas. What should I do in such a scenario?

A.Asa principle, two aspects must be considered when evaluating Shari‘a-compliance of any job:

1. The nature of the job itself

2. The source of the funds used to pay the employee

By working as a cashier in a gas station, a person is paid for the time spent on his job, irrespective of how much work is done. A cashier is not paid specifically for the work he does, but rather for being available at the job, some of which is halal and some which may happen to be haram.

If a person works at a gas station that is owned by a non-Muslim, the money is not tainted by the owner using it in a non-Shariah-compliant transaction. Thus, the income is halal and the cashier does not have to give any amount of his salary to charity. But it is necessary for the worker to look for another job since there is certainty of him falling into something that is prohibited. And Allah knows best.
