Q 1: I am a plumber and sometimes, due to the nature of my work, I go to
beaches and cabins
in
Alexandria
where I live. Is my work considered an act of (Part No. 14; Page No. 451) cooperation in sin and transgression? It is worth mentioning that the people in such places and times whether male or female are predominantly characterized with lecherousness, lewdness and exposure of the `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public). If I have gained some money from this work, what should I do with it? Could you kindly advise?
A:
It is better for you to earn your living through lawful means which are not doubtful and use your profession which Allah facilitates for you (sanitary) in places other than beaches and cabins because they are places of Fitnah (temptation) and most of the people who go there are evil people. Fixing their sanitation will help and provide them with luxury which will facilitate residing there. Going to these places for plumbing will result in mixing with the evil and bad people. To be safe, you should stay away from these places of Fitnah. As for the money you gained from your work that you have done, we seek Allah to forgive you for the earning that you consumed. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
