And is the salary earned from writing news unlawful if the placement of advertisements is merely a service? And is the website owner sinful for these advertisements appearing to visitors, and what should he do if the website owners reject his advice?
It is not permissible to install advertisements if it is highly probable that their content includes unlawful elements, especially those containing images of unveiled women. Repentance is obligatory for such actions. As for the earnings from them, they fall under the ruling of mixed wealth, and it is obligatory to extract the unlawful portion and dispose of it in charitable ways.
