If you do not directly engage in the prohibited acts and do not assist in them in your work at the factory, then your salary is, Allah willing, free from any问题. You must advise those in charge of the factory and explain to them the gravity of cheating, falsification, and deception, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Religion is sincerity (or advice)," and he said: "Whoever cheats is not of us." If the advice benefits, then so be it. Otherwise, inform the relevant authorities if you are able to do so without harm befalling you, due to the certain harm this deception inflicts upon society.
