The question

Is it permissible to work on a website that publishes various video clips, some of which feature women indistinctly, with the intention of creating a personal website that adheres to Islamic guidelines, yet may contain video clips with musical instruments (ma'azif) to attract an audience and protect them from prohibited content on other sites, and what is the legitimate standard for judging actions that involve minor harm?

The answer

Working for websites that promote good and benefit people is permissible, provided that no clips containing violations, such as forbidden images or music, are published on them, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The good intention of benefiting people and diverting them from forbidden websites does not justify publishing clips that contain Sharia violations. The criterion for publishing video clips is that they must be free from forbidden elements.
