I'm a Muslim currently working in Japan, and There isn't a mosque near where I live. The nearest one is about an hour away by train, What troubles me even more is my job. I work at a pig slaughterhouse. The reason I came here was because my family is burdened with debt, and the wages in my home country weren't enough for me to help them pay the debt and still survive myself.
Before coming here, I applied to many places, but this was the only company that accepted me. At the time, it felt like I had no real alternative if I wanted to support my family.
I try to keep my faith, pray as much as I can, and do my best in my circumstances, but I often feel conflicted about my situation. I know what Islam teaches regarding pigs, and sometimes I wonder whether I'm doing something wrong by continuing this job when it's currently my family's main source of support.
I'm genuinely looking for advice from people who may have knowledge of Islam or who have been in similar situations. How should someone in my position approach this?
