What is the ruling on working at the Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat) if the nature of the work is engineering, and most of the organization's income comes from leasing satellite capacities to visual channels, knowing that the questioner’s work is limited to controlling and ensuring the effectiveness and operation of the satellite, and it is not within his authority to permit or prevent what is broadcast? Is working there considered aiding in sin and transgression? And does the use of a permissible means by others for sinful purposes implicate the questioner in sin?

The fundamental principle regarding working in satellite communication institutions is permissibility, unless the work directly involves committing a forbidden act or assisting in one, or if the communication means are predominantly used to spread corruption (such as nudity, intermingling of sexes, alcoholic beverages, and promoting falsehood). In such cases, working there becomes forbidden.

Therefore, compare the good and evil that the institution publishes. If evil predominates, then working there is forbidden. Otherwise, there is no objection, provided you do not directly engage in publishing forbidden content.
