What is the ruling of Islamic law on working for a private company that provides sanitation, disinfection, and pest control services for tourist lodgings?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in working for a company that provides services to hotels intended for comfort and hospitality, which are frequented by both the righteous and the wicked, and where guests practice whatever they desire, whether worship or disobedience. However, if the hotels are built specifically for disobedience, or if the vast majority of their patrons use them for acts of disobedience, then it is not permissible to work for an institution that provides any service to them, due to the cooperation in sin and aggression involved.
