Is it permissible to accept money in exchange for writing episodes for an educational program on YouTube, knowing that the channel's source of income is from advertisements, and is the ruling on the writer the same as the ruling on the channel owner in this case?
There is no harm in accepting money paid for beneficial scholarly حلقات (study circles/sessions), so long as they are free from شرعية (Shar'i/Islamic legal) violations. This work is not prohibited merely because the channel owners' funds include unlawful money.
