What is the ruling on a girl working in a forum for a monthly salary, and is it necessary to mention the source of quoted topics? And is it permissible to work in a women's forum that contains pictures of women in members' signatures or fashion topics? And what is the ruling on working in a mixed forum (boys and girls), whether religious, social, or medical, where interaction is limited to replies and thanks? And is it permissible to work and receive a salary from a forum that contains forbidden sections, provided one does not participate in them? And what is the ruling on the money earned from it if it is not permissible?
There is no objection to working in the forum and receiving a wage for it, provided it adheres to Sharia guidelines. There is no prohibition against quoting permissible materials from internet sites, as long as they are attributed to their source or author and not to oneself. It is not permissible to post pictures of women in forums, even if they are designated for women, and those in charge should be advised to remove them. Those in charge of the forum must be advised of the impermissibility of posting songs, movies, and pictures of women. Your work therein is permissible as long as it does not involve assisting in or condoning evil. There is no harm in young men and women participating in these sites, as long as it is not used as a pretext for establishing illicit relationships.
