Working at Pizza Shop That Sells Ham

Question:
I work at a donair and pizza shop which carries all halal meats except the ham that he uses on the pizza is pork unfortunatly and I rarely if ever have to touch it but if their is no one around and I need to make a pizza, I wear my gloves and say astaghfirallah many times. I do pray five times a day and am trying to do better in this world and I am really confused as to whether my job is haram. Please guide me to make the right decision as this job suites my lifestyle.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah.
 
Your job is not haram, inshaa’ Allah. You should avoid selling the ham pizza even when you are alone. You need to make this clear with the employer. Selling it with gloves and istighfar does not make the action permissible even when you sell it to non-Muslims.
 
Make an agreement with the employer that when you are alone ham pizza should be not available. It is haram to sell it. Of course if the owner is Muslim you should also advise him/her to avoid that. There are many pizza shops in the US and Canada which use beef pepperoni.
 
Allah Almighty knows best.
