What is the ruling on working in a ballet troupe? Is it permissible or forbidden? And what should I do if it is forbidden, given the current circumstances?
A ballet troupe brings together men and women for frivolous amusement and degenerate dancing, involving the exposure of awrat (private parts) and tight clothing. All of this is forbidden by Islamic law and is rejected by sound human nature. Therefore, it is not permissible to work in it or attend its performances, and one must stay away from it. As for provision, it is in the hands of Allah. Whoever abandons something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
