The answer

It is not permissible to work as an accountant in a hotel where abominable acts are committed, except out of necessity. This work must be left immediately once the necessity ceases. The girl's family has the right to stipulate that you leave this job, while appreciating the necessity and giving you an opportunity to search for another job. If you fulfill the condition, then you must be accepted as a husband, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If there comes to you one whose religion and character you approve, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and widespread corruption." If you do not fulfill the condition, then your religion is not approved, and you should not be accepted as a husband.
