Working in a hotel
Question
Is it permissible to work in a hotel where unmarried people rent rooms on an hourly basis or daily basis to have sex? Is my salary halaal?
Answer
If the work that you are employed for is of a halaal nature, then it is permissible for you to work in the hotel and your income will be halaal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
