What is the ruling on the money of a person who works in a women's beauty salon if he intends to leave this work, and is it permissible for him to marry from it, and what should he do regarding the harassment and near nakedness of women, and can he not fast Ramadan due to the weakness of his body?
The profession of hairdressing for women is unlawful (haram) according to Islamic law, and its earnings are ill-gotten (khabith). One must repent from it and abandon it. Do not be deceived by the abundance of its earnings compared to permissible work, as Allah Almighty says: "Say: 'Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you.' So fear Allah, O you who possess understanding, that you may succeed" [Al-Ma'idah: 100]. One must observe prayers at their appointed times. As for money earned from unlawful work, after repenting from it, it is permissible to take a portion of it for marriage and to start a permissible business, and the remainder should be spent on the welfare of Muslims. As for fasting in Ramadan, if one breaks their fast due to an illness from which recovery is hoped, they must make up the missed days. If the illness is chronic and recovery is not hoped for, then they must feed a poor person for each day.
