Being a special agent for non-Muslim countries
Assalaamu alaikum my most respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam,I turn to you with this question because you have more knowledge of this deen than I, being as I am a revert to Islam.My question concerns the permissibility of working as a special agent for for a US Govt. agency, namely the FBI or CIA.As an American, I feel compelled to support my country and do what I can to prevent any terrorist attacks where innocent non-combatants, women, children, and elderly are hurt or worse. However, as a Muslim, I am wary of doing anything that could lead me to be considered on the side of those who oppose Islam or Islamic principles.I do not think that is the purpose of these agencies, but I don't feel I have enough knowledge of the deen in this matter to make a decision without more opinions.Jazakallah khair in advance for your advice.
