Is it permissible to deal with a website that contains songs, movies, female images, incorrect hadith, or articles that encourage changing one's madhhab, and developing, updating, and publicizing it in exchange for a sum of money?
It is not permissible to work on developing websites that contain forbidden elements, such as: songs that include music, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There will be people from my nation who will consider unlawful sexual intercourse, silk, wine, and musical instruments as lawful." Also, films that contain reprehensible acts like unveiled women, music, or promotion of vices, and images of unveiled women. Additionally, it is forbidden to publish weak or fabricated narrations attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) without clarifying their weakness, for he (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever narrates a from me, knowing it to be a lie, is one of the liars." Furthermore, articles that advocate for changing the creed of Ahlus- to innovative and deviant creeds are forbidden, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever calls to misguidance will bear a sin equivalent to the sins of those who follow him, without diminishing any of their sins." This is in accordance with Allah's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty."
