I am applying for a flight attendant position at an Airline that requires serving alcohol on board as part of the normal job duties. Are there any scholars that would allow serving the alcohol in this case?

It is very clear in Islamic rules that any job which includes dealing with alcohol is forbidden and the income from it is unlawful (Haraam). The authentic Hadeeth states that any one who deals with alcohol in any way will be cursed.

Husband . Wife . Duties . Sexual . Homemaking . Repentance (Tawbah) . Alcohol

If a husband engages in drinking or adultery, is the wife still required to fulfill her responsibilities, such as cooking and intimacy, or can she refuse him and choose to live separately until he repents?

Wife must fulfill her duties towards her husband even if the husband is a bad person committing sinful acts. Husband suns are on him but it can never exempt his wife from her duties as a wife. Her suffering because of her husband's bad deeds will add in her reward as patient person as lady Asian tolerated her very bad husband Firaon.

Wife can not refuse her husband nor live separately. Yes she should never help him in any wrong act.

Husband . Alcohol . Children

My husband is not religious and believes alcohol is allowed in Islam. He wants to drink monthly. I am concerned he may drink secretly despite my objections. How much can I intervene, and is it appropriate to consider leaving him and the kids if he does?

I am sorry to hear that. Most likely, he knows that alcohol is disallowed in Islam, but doesn't care. (There are many things Muslims debate over; alcohol is rarely one of them.) He may also have some dependency on alcohol. You can advise him, but in the end he will make his own decision.

What you should do depends on yourself and the situation. Sometimes, drinking itself is the problem (for instance, if someone becomes violent or overspends because of it), and sometimes it is symptomatic of other problems (here, a difference about religion, and/or other problems in the marriage - often, people are willing to overlook a great deal if a marriage is going well, even if they disapprove of it).

I think you should consider your situation holistically - how is the marriage overall, what are your options financially and practically, are there other concerns, would you lose contact with your children if you left him, and how much psychological stress is it causing you - and talk to someone you know in person who can give you good advice based on your situation overall. Also, many religiously minded parents want their children to be raised religiously, and if your husband would have custody and is not religious, it might not be what you want (I am sure you have already taken that into consideration).

While it's advised in hadith not to marry someone who drinks, that is a decision to make before marriage; now you are in the marriage already and have children, so it's a reality you have to navigate and make the best choice about. In the end, it's something you need to sort out for yourself, because advice for one person will differ from advice for another person.

Drinking alcohol is definitely Haraam (Forbidden) in Islam. You try your best to help your husband to avoid such sinful act. If he insists on committing sins, you will not be responsible as far as you don't help or assist him in committing the sin.

Alcohol . Najis . Perfume

Are fragrances that include alcohol, like those derived from whisky or cognac, allowed to be used? I know wine and beer are Najis, but I believe spirits are deemed Tahir. If this is so, can one wear fragrances containing such alcohol?

Any material taken from Najis item is Najis as well. Fragrances derived from intoxicant alcohol is Najis. Applying such fragrances is permissible by itself, despite that fact that it is Najis, but you need to wash it before performing your Wudhu and/ or Prayers (Salah).

Alcohol . Meaning . Paradise . Surat Muhammad

In Surah Muhammad (47:15), does "خَمۡرٍ" refer to the same intoxicating alcohol that is prohibited in this life? If it does, how can something harmful and forbidden be allowed in Jannah? If not, what is its specific meaning in this context?

The word Khamr خمر in Quran does not mean the intoxicant alcohol which is known and prohibited in this life. Khamr of this life is filth and Najis which causes dangerous effects, while Khamr of Paradise completely different as it will be لَذّةٍ للشاربين delicious for the drinkers. It us a completely different drink which does not have any thing similar to the intoxicating alcohol.
