Free lancer helping someone develop a dating site

· 9 Shaʻban 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I work as a free lancer and a client asked me to work on a dating site he is developing. I need to make some basic changes like payment, sign up. Is it okay for me work for it. The dating site is for European countries.

Answer

This type of work is haraam. It is not permissible for you to accept this work. If you assist in this, you will be an accomplice to the sins and you will be supporting and promoting haraam. The wealth earned through this will also be haraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
