The answer

Working to publish pictures of unveiled women is forbidden because it assists in spreading and publicizing evil and causes temptation, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty." It is not permissible to continue in this work except in cases of dire necessity according to Islamic law, such as the absence of money or another permissible job that fulfills his basic needs and those of his dependents. In this case, he is permitted to continue until he finds a permissible alternative.
