Is the graphic designer responsible for editing an advertising newspaper that includes advertisements containing Sharia-prohibited elements, such as music advertisements, usurious banks, or unveiled women, sinful, even though he does not design these advertisements but only arranges them?

It is not permissible to work in collecting and arranging advertisements that include forbidden matters, such as advertisements for an interest-based bank, or pictures of unveiled women, or advertisements for singing and music concerts; because this involves aiding in evil, inviting to it, and beautifying falsehood. It is obligatory to limit oneself to permissible advertisements only.
