Answer:

 

Sell cross jesus jewelry gold

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Respected brother, if the jewelry store where you are employed does not sell statues of animate objects, crosses, or other prohibited items alone….but these prohibited products are a part of a larger lawful collection which are sold in the store, the absolute majority of the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that the salary of the employee would be lawful and deemed being from the lawful earnings of the store.  The sin and blame for selling the prohibited items would be borne by the owner of the store alone.  And Allah Alone Knows Best.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
