Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Advertising and publicity in media include many transgressions that must be avoided, such as misrepresentation in describing goods, promoting forbidden things like revealing clothes and unlawful foods, and using unveiled women as an attraction. If the advertising is free from these unlawful elements, then there is no objection to working in it or assisting with it, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression" (Al-Ma'idah: 2).
