What is the ruling on working for a contracting company that builds residential complexes and hospitals, if some of its work sites include building hotels and social clubs that contain swimming pools where indecency and mixing might occur, and cafes where mixing and the use of forbidden things like shisha might occur? Is it permissible to supply the needs of these dubious sites? And what is the ruling on working for the company if the supply of the needs of these specific sites is avoided?

Working in the supply of hotel and club necessities is permissible, even if they contain a swimming pool that might be used in ways that violate Islamic law, such as mixing of genders and exposure of 'awrah (private parts). This is because the original contract is for a permissible benefit, which is swimming, and the prohibition stems from the misuse of these facilities by some individuals.
