Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to work in advertising and artistic direction if it is free of forbidden elements, such as advertising for acting, dancing, or forbidden singing, or photographing animate beings, or promoting evil deeds like usury, gambling, alcoholic beverages, and immodest display (tabarruj). If it includes any of these, then it is not permissible, due to the general meaning of Allah's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
