What is the ruling on money earned from work, knowing that the designated place of residence for the work involves and is known for adultery?
The permissibility of a husband's salary depends on the permissibility of his work. If the company deals in forbidden things or compels him to commit forbidden acts, then it is not permissible for him to work there, and his salary would be unlawful. However, if the company's work is permissible and the husband agrees to reside near evil deeds, his work is not forbidden, and his salary is permissible. Nevertheless, sin falls upon him for residing there, and he must repent and strive to live far from evil deeds. He must also forbid evil to his colleagues and managers.
