What is the ruling on working in a hotel that has Islamic regulations—such as not selling alcohol and allocating a swimming pool for women—but also contains some violations, such as playing music and providing shared swimming pools and a beach, knowing that changing these objectionable things might cause harm, and leaving the job might lead to the sadness of relatives, cutting off ties of kinship, and difficulty in finding another job?

It is not permissible to create a swimming pool shared between men and women, and doing so is a great abomination that must be removed. As for music and singing, it is permissible to keep them in a special section of the hotel if that protects the hotel and its operators from harm, and preserves the good aspects they are doing. This would be like committing the lesser of two harms to ward off the greater.

It is permissible to work in the hotel provided that one does not assist in any abomination, such as working in a place unrelated to the swimming pool or songs, while being careful to lower one's gaze. If this is not possible, or if there is fear of temptation, then one must leave the job.
