Is a salary considered unlawful if its source is working in a sales office at a five-star hotel, while observing Islamic guidelines in dress and conduct?

The basic principle regarding work - for both men and women - is permissibility, provided that Islamic conditions are met. These include: the work itself must be permissible, avoiding deception, and for women, observing the hijab, ensuring safety from fitna (temptation/discord), and avoiding khalwa (unlawful seclusion). Most hotels include prohibitions, thus working in them is impermissible due to the impermissibility of being present in a place of disobedience or assisting in it.

The salary can be categorized in two ways: 1. Directly engaging in prohibited work or assisting in it: It is unlawful to own the salary, and one must dispose of it by spending it on charitable causes. 2. Not directly engaging in prohibited work, and the benefit is permissible: One is sinful for being present in a place of wrongdoing, but it is permissible to benefit from the salary. However, one must leave this job.
