Is it permissible to work at the Egyptian newspaper Al-Naba’ as a printing engineer, knowing that it specializes in various issues and incidents, and I am not involved in writing its content?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The fundamental principle regarding working in printing is permissibility. However, if the printed newspaper serves as a sound guide or is limited to permissible news, then working in it is permissible. But if it calls for evil or promotes it, then working in it is not permissible due to its involvement in aiding sin, as Allah the Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
