Is a salary earned from working in a law firm that handles cases such as drugs, adultery, and sodomy considered unlawful (haram)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If those in charge of the office defend criminals and unjustly support them in some cases, then their work in these cases is void, and their earnings from it are forbidden, because it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression.
