Am I allowed to occasionally serve a plate containing pork if my job at a restaurant is to clean tables?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asslamu Alaykom, 

According to many scholars, one should completely avoid serving alcohol and pork meat. Some other scholars such as Sayed Muhammad Shirazi, stated that one can serve pork only to non-Muslims. You would need to check this with your marja to see what their ruling is. 
 

May Allah grant you success 
What is the right method to seek forgiveness from Allah after committing adultery while under the influence of alcohol? How can I rectify the situation and alleviate the inner torment caused by my guilt?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Deep feeling of sorrow and sadness whenever you remember committing that sin. Such sorrow and sadness can make the sinner weep when he is alone especially at night and beg from Allah to forgiveness.

2. Firm decision not to do it again under any circumstances.

3. Repeating Istighfaar ( ASTAGHFIRULLAH) or it's meaning in your own language as many times as you can, day and night, especially during night and during prostration (Sojood).

I understand it is not permissible in Islam to cut off relation with any relatives, but what if that relative is an unbeliever, has alcohol in their homes, and at times would even disrespect our belief and our Imams?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not allowed to cut off relation with any of our relatives even if they are bad as far as we don't support them in their bad acts. We must keep up with every relative.

Wassalam.
