I am software engineer, I got a project which is to put the films of international film festival on internet? The earnings from this is permissible or it is Haram ?

Answer

Almighty Allah Ta'ala says And do not assist in sins. (MAAIDAH) The purpose of placing the festival on the web is to publicize and promote the contents of the festival, a great part of which is unislamic. Therefore, to be part of such a project will be assisting in sin, hence not permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
