What is the ruling on working for a company that imports and exports women's intimate apparel featuring pornographic and immoral images, is made from fruit-flavored sugary materials, and alters country of origin labels to increase its price?
Selling, buying, and tailoring clothes that contain obscene images or words is forbidden, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an indecency and is evil as a way," and His saying: "Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter." Selling goods manufactured in one country and misleading the buyer into believing they are locally made is forbidden because it is deception. If the questioner's brother's work involves what has been mentioned, then his work and salary are forbidden, and he must leave the job and repent. As for flavored clothes: if the flavor permeates their fabric, there is no objection to selling them. However, if they are made from sugars and fruits that have a physical mass and are worn over private parts, then this is a degradation of blessings.
