What is the ruling on working as an accountant in an artistic production company, and is it permissible for someone who is in financial hardship and seeking employment?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Working in accounting is permissible if it is a means to a permissible matter. However, if it is for something forbidden, such as films and songs, then it is not permissible, unless the artistic production is free from prohibitions, or if it is mixed and it is possible to limit oneself to the permissible aspects. Special circumstances, such as debts, should be considered if they reach the level of Sharia necessity.
