Is the monthly salary of a worker in an advertising company permissible (halal) or forbidden (haram) if their job is administrative and consists of handing a CD containing an image of a product from another company (and in some cases the images contain unveiled but not naked women) to the printing press for printing, knowing that their company does not produce the images?

It is forbidden for a Muslim to assist in publishing pictures of unveiled women. If his work involves this, then a portion of his salary, proportionate to his involvement in this assistance, is unlawful. Otherwise, his salary is lawful as long as it is in exchange for permissible work, for Allah says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
