In case you didn’t know, working at Aldi is haram! Now we also know why the shortage of skilled labour is so glaringly high.
The exact rules of what is haram – the Arabic word that literally means ‘forbidden’ or ‘impermissible’ – for the orthodox are laid down in the Quran and in the Hadith, the traditions of the great prophet Mohammed, and interpreted by so-called ‘Islamic scholars’.
For example, the good Muslim is forbidden to consume certain foods and drinks, such as pork or alcohol, to his astral body. Charging interest is also forbidden in Islam and is considered haram. The same applies to stealing, cheating or lying, although Allah presumably does not take it quite so strictly if the person being cheated, robbed or lied to is an infidel.
It also seems to be haram for a Muslim to work at the Aldi supermarket. A fluffy beard answers the question ‘Are you allowed to work at Aldi’ – where ‘you’ does not presumably but definitely refers to the army of Muslims – on social media as follows: ‘We’ll start by saying: Working in a supermarket is haram if you have contact with haram things. For example, you work at the checkout. You have to check out haram meat, you have to check out alcohol, you have to check out other forbidden things like magazines and whatever else,’ explains the alleged “Islamic scholar”. However, if someone says they work at Aldi in the fruit department, where they only sort apples and pears and oranges and so on, then this activity is not haram, i.e. super halal. But, according to the lecturer with a nappy on his head, the reality is different. If you work at Aldi, then you have to do this and this and this. And that’s why working at Aldi is not allowed.
Whether shopping at Aldi is also haram was not answered by the noble Islamic scholar, nor was the question of whether collecting social benefits also falls under the Islamic prohibition.
