Sheikh Ibn Al-Uthaymeen
It is not permissible for him to work in a factory that produces alcohol, because he is considered a wine-presser and a helper in spreading and drinking alcohol. So, it is not permissible for him to stay in this factory. Rather, he should only seek a permissible job so that his Rizq (livelihood/sustenance) is Halal, and his earnings are pure.
