Cleaning and sterilizing rooms in tourist locations where immorality and corruption are prevalent is considered aiding in sin, and assisting in the forbidden is prohibited in all its forms. Just as it is forbidden to water the grapevines used for wine, to press them, carry them, or sell them, due to the assistance it provides in drinking wine. In addition, it is forbidden to be present in places of sin without necessity. Therefore, it is advised to seek lawful sustenance and avoid working in these places unless compelled by dire necessity.
