What is the ruling on working as an accountant in a tourist hotel when no other work is available?
The prevalent situation in tourist hotels is the presence of violations of Islamic law, such as serving alcoholic beverages and the mixing of unrelated men and women. If the aforementioned hotel permits such forbidden actions, then it is not permissible to work there as an accountant, because it falls under cooperating in sin and aggression. However, if the hotel is free from violations of Islamic law, then there is no objection to working there.
