Is working in a company that produces mattresses and has advertisements featuring women forbidden for all employees, or only for those who create the advertisements? And is working in a pharmacy that sells products with pictures of women forbidden?

It is not permissible for an employee in this company to place advertisements featuring images of immodestly dressed women on mattresses or other goods. Nor is it permissible to print or design these images, due to the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." There is no harm for one who works in this company and does not directly engage in any of that. And there is no harm in working in pharmacies and selling goods that have images of women on them, such as shampoo and hair cream, because this is a widespread affliction.
