The question

What is the ruling on working for a company that develops a website for a Christian church, knowing that the work tasks are limited to updating church news and weekly religious topics, with the condition of not offending the Islamic religion? And if that is not permissible according to Islamic law, is it permissible to sign the contract and donate the entire amount to the poor and for charitable causes?

The answer

It is impermissible to sign a contract for the service of a website that propagates Christianity, as this constitutes aiding in the dissemination of falsehood, based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The argument that merely stipulating non-offence to Islam is sufficient is incorrect, because the propagation of falsehood itself is an offense to Islam. And whoever forsakes something for the sake of Allah, He will replace it with something better.
