Previous fatwas (79165 and 113456) have been issued regarding the ruling on working as an accountant in artistic production companies, and these fatwas suffice without repetition. If the questioner is compelled to work in a job with prohibitions due to the lack of alternatives, and experiences unbearable hardship, then it is hoped that there is no sin upon him, provided he seeks another job, and remembers the words of Allah Almighty: "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect."
