The question

The answer

Working in a job that necessitates viewing裸 images is prohibited, except in cases of urgent necessity that permit the forbidden. One must immediately lower their gaze from such images and close the page once the need is met, and endeavor to remove any prohibited links. A Muslim must fear Allah to the best of their ability. If one is unable to remove some content, there is no blame on them as long as they have done what they could, for necessities permit prohibitions and are estimated according to their measure. Nevertheless, one should seek a job free from the unlawful and doubtful matters.
