Is it permissible to work in an internet cafe that does not block pornographic websites in order to pay off a debt, without receiving financial compensation, and is it permissible to dispose of the money earned from this work?
It is not permissible to return to work that involves unlawful acts under the pretext of paying off the owner's debt, as long as you cannot control these unlawful acts. This is because it is considered cooperation in sin, which the Quran has forbidden, as Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The state of necessity is negated by the availability of another job. And whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better, for Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect." The debt can be repaid by agreeing with the owner on monthly installments.
