Is working in computer maintenance for an organization that advocates birth control, safe abortion, combating female genital mutilation, and raising awareness against sexually transmitted diseases permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to work for the aforementioned organization, not even in the computer maintenance department, because its field of work is forbidden (). It combats procreation, advocates abortion, and promotes indecency under the guise of sex education. What is earned from working there is an unlawful (haram) gain, because maintaining computers is considered assisting them in their forbidden work. Allah has forbidden cooperation in sin and aggression. "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
