Is there a suspicion concerning working as a sales representative for a tourism company that sells stays in five-star resorts and hotels, knowing that tourist places may be used for disobedience? And is the representative considered a partner in misleading if the company does not adhere to its promises to the client, even with a contract? And what is the ruling on pressuring the client to buy by any means?
The prevalent situation in tourist hotels—as you mentioned—involves committing Sharia violations such as serving alcohol and the illicit seclusion of foreigners, and the general environment therein being a center for sins. Therefore, it is not permissible to work for this company due to the cooperation in sin it entails, and Allah Almighty has said: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Furthermore, the sales representative's resorting to pushing the customer to buy by any means, and the company's failure to fulfill its promises, makes the matter even more prohibited.
