Is it permissible to work in a factory that produces molds for laser discs containing religious programs, children's games, movies, and songs, knowing that the factory has no involvement with the content of the disc and that sexual content is rejected?
Working in the production of CDs that contain beneficial material such as sermons, lectures, and useful computer programs is permissible, and is considered an act of worship if the worker's intention is good. As for producing CDs that contain movies and songs, this is a forbidden act that must be abandoned immediately, due to its role in spreading indecency and promoting evil. Current songs and movies are forbidden even if they do not include sexual scenes, as nudity, obscenity, and mixing of genders are forbidden. It is not permissible to work on such CDs, nor to look at them with the intention of approving or disapproving them. Work must be stopped immediately if it involves both forbidden and permissible elements. However, if the work is limited to permissible CDs, there is no objection.
