The answer

It is permissible to open bathhouses and work in them, provided that Islamic regulations are observed, such as not uncovering 'awrah (private parts) and preventing the mixing of men and women. If the work involves violations of Islamic law and these cannot be controlled, then it is not permissible, as it falls under cooperation in sin and aggression.
