Is it permissible to work as a market researcher, which requires filling out forms with consumers, including men, for 40 minutes, knowing that the majority of people may not be truthful in their answers, that the forms may be altered later, and that the work sometimes requires lying and deception to persuade people, and the salary is based on the number of forms?
If the work cannot be done except through lying and deception, then it is obligatory to abandon it, repent to Allah, and seek another job free from religious transgressions. However, if it is possible to continue working without religious transgressions, then that is permissible.
