Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
In principle, your work in this field is permissible; however, if you find out or think that Islamic violations are most likely being committed in it, then it is impermissible for you to carry on with your work in it.
Allaah Knows best.
