Is working in an internet café permissible or forbidden, knowing that it offers excellent benefits in obtaining information, and is it forbidden or permissible to sit with and teach women the internet in this job?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to work in an internet cafe if it adheres to Sharia controls, and it is not permissible if it does not, due to the assistance it provides in sin. It is permissible to teach men and women there, provided there is no fear of temptation (fitna) and that forbidden acts, such as being in seclusion with women (khalwa) or dealing with women who display their adornments (mutabarrijat), are avoided. If you fear temptation or if there are women you teach who cause temptation, then you should not teach them.
