The answer

It is not permissible to assist in distributing newspapers that contain nude images, based on Allah's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." If you cannot limit yourself to distributing only newspapers free of such content, then you must abandon this work. As for carrying mail to gambling centers, this is also impermissible because it often contains content that aids in gambling.

However, if you cannot find another permissible job and there is an urgent need for money, then it is permissible to remain in this work, provided that you do not save any money from it and take only what is necessary, disposing of the rest, based on Allah's saying: "And He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, except for that to which you are compelled."
