Ruling on working as an engineer for an airline, when his work includes playing music and video clips; what is the ruling on his salary?
Question

                I am an Inflight Entertainment(IFE) Engineer working for an airline. My work is to perform maintenance and alterations to In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity Systems on aircraft to include: troubleshooting and testing of electronic assemblies and units, the removal and eplacement of electronic assemblies, loading audio, video content(music,games,news, documentries movies etc) to the system. As i involve in music and movies that is not halal

Pls advice if my earning is halal or haram.
Praise be to Allah.
	Firstly:

	It is well-known that songs, music and indecent movies are 
	things that are prohibited in our Islamic religion, because of what they 
	contain of things that corrupt people’s religious commitment and morals.

	We have explained that previously in several answers. Please 
	see the answers to questions no. 5000,
	85232, and 125535.

	Secondly:

	If something is prohibited, such as music, smoking, watching 
	indecent movies, and the like, then it is not permissible to work in that 
	field or to help with it in any way whatsoever, whether that is by 
	manufacturing equipment that is used for such purposes, or maintaining it, 
	or selling it, and so on, because that comes under the heading of helping in 
	sin, encouraging it and approving of it. Allah, may He be exalted, says 
	(interpretation of the meaning):

	“Help you one 
	another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do 
	not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah 
	is Severe in punishment”

	[al-Maa’idah 5:2]

	“They will 
	bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and also of the 
	burdens of those whom they misled without knowledge. Evil indeed is that 
	which they shall bear!”

	[an-Nahl 16:25].

	And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) 
	said: “Whoever sets a bad precedent in Islam and it is acted upon after him, 
	a burden of sin will be recorded for him like that of those who do it, 
	without that detracting from their burden of sin in the slightest.” Narrated 
	by Muslim (1017).

	Our advice to you is to strive to make sure that your 
	provision is halaal and wholesome, and to look for another job in a 
	permissible field in which you do not have to work in or help with any 
	haraam activities. Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah 
	will compensate him with something better than it. 

	Ahmad (19813) narrated that Abu Qataadah and Abu’d-Dahma’ 
	said: We came to a man of the desert and said: Did you hear anything from 
	the Messenger of Allah (lettings and peace of Allah be upon him)? He said: 
	Yes, I heard him say: “Verily you will never give up anything for fear of 
	Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, but Allah will give you something 
	better than it.”

	Al-Haythami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Its men are 
	the men of as-Saheeh. End quote from Majma‘ az-Zawaa’id wa Manba‘ 
	al-Fawaa’id (11/207)

	Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was 
	asked:

	I work in a movie theatre, and my work is running and 
	watching the projectors. Sometimes they show some indecent and inappropriate 
	movies, and for that reason I am not happy with this job, but I cannot find 
	any other job, even though I feel that I am carrying a heavy burden of sin 
	because of it. What do you think I should do? What do you advise me to do? 
	What is the ruling on my previous earning from this job?

	He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied:

	You should not work in this job, because it is haraam and 
	corrupt, and causes corruption. What you have to do is leave it and look for 
	provision through another job. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says 
	(interpretation of the meaning):

	“and 
	whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter 
	easy for him”

	[at-Talaaq 65:4]

	““And 
	whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him 
	to get out (from every difficulty)”

	[at-Talaaq 65:2]

	“O you who 
	believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.

	He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will 
	forgive you your sins”

	[al-Ahzaab 33:70-71].

	Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will 
	compensate him with something better than it, and the provision that Allah, 
	may He be exalted, provides should not be sought through haraam means. So 
	you have to leave this job immediately, and seek provision elsewhere. There 
	are many ways of making a living, praise be to Allah. With regard to what 
	you have earned of these haraam earnings, if you were unaware of the ruling 
	when you started this job, and you did not know that it was haraam for you, 
	then you do not have to do anything, because you acquired it in ignorance, 
	and it did not involve consuming the wealth of anyone else unlawfully. But 
	if you give in charity the equivalent of what you earned for running the 
	haraam movies, then this is better. And Allah knows best.
