Is it permissible to continue working in a factory where there is excessive obscene and vulgar talk, backbiting, and insulting of parents, coupled with the fear of being influenced by them after attempts to advise them and change the workplace have been futile? And what is the ruling on someone who insists on vulgar talk while maintaining prayer and fasting?

The prevalence of cursing and backbiting in the factory does not necessitate prohibiting work there, because the factory is not a place designated for such obscenities. Furthermore, the widespread nature of this affliction makes it difficult to restrict the permissibility of work based on the absence of cursing. The worker must advise those who commit evil and denounce their actions, and he will not be harmed by their lack of response. Scholars have stated that necessity permits sitting in a place where evil is committed, distinguishing between sitting without necessity and sitting for the purpose of denouncing or under duress. The utterance of forbidden words by those who pray and fast indicates their shortcomings in fulfilling their religious obligations, for acts of obedience deter indecency and evil.
