What is the ruling on earning profit from a YouTube channel that offers beneficial content and includes permissible advertisements, with the possibility of filtering out impermissible advertisements, knowing that some permissible advertisements may feature women without a hijab?

As long as the advertised commodity or service is permissible, earning from displaying its advertisement is not forbidden. The inclusion of an image of a disobediently adorned woman in the advertisement does not necessitate prohibiting the work or forbidding the profit, due to the widespread nature of such occurrences, and because the images themselves are not the intended purpose of the advertisement. The viewer is obligated to lower his gaze from what is impermissible. It is possible for anyone who encounters such an advertisement to block it.
