Is there anything (sinful) in the salary of an accountant who works for a newspaper that publishes news about male and female actors and male and female singers?
The predominant nature of news concerning actors and singers is evil, deviance, the promotion of amusement, the spread of discord (fitna), and the dissemination of corruption. This defiles one's image and diminishes dignity and values. Therefore, it is not permissible to work in this field, as it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression, nor is it permissible to use it as a means of earning a livelihood. The paths to provision (rizq) are many, so a servant should fear his Lord: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent."
