Is it permissible to apply the principle of committing the lesser of two evils in work situations that could lead to significant harm, such as assisting in delivering water service to a church or a nightclub, in order to avoid accusing the ruler and inciting discord, given the risk of dismissal and homelessness?
It is not permissible for a Muslim to assist in supplying water to a place where acts of disobedience are committed, unless he fears certain harm to himself and his family if he does not do so, and he is in need of the work such that he cannot find what will suffice his needs if he leaves it. In that case, he must then seek other work.
