Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Al-Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is not permissible for a Muslim to rent themselves out for selling alcohol, serving it, or cleaning its utensils in preparation for drinking. It is also not permissible to take payment for such work as it is considered haram (forbidden). However, since it appears from your statement that your work does not involve alcohol utensils, selling them, or preparing and cleaning them for the purpose of drinking alcohol, your work is permissible and you may take payment for it.

Ayatollah Al-Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
There is no objection to this as long as your work does not constitute assistance in drinking alcohol, and you are allowed to take payment.
