Is working in internet companies permissible?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The internet is a double-edged sword. The basic ruling for working in internet companies is permissibility, unless the work itself involves something inherently forbidden, or assists in the forbidden. Examples of this include creating immoral websites or usury-related ones, or providing internet service to someone who watches forbidden things.
