Working in companies that have some Haram activities : job on Advertisement program that may help Haram products

السؤال

Dr. Kahf, Hope you are well. I have the opportunity to be part of an online affiliate program that sells others' products on websites through online ads, and makes revenue from that. [Commission] I am comfortable with most of the products-sometimes electronics, subscriptions to online accounting tools, software etc. Some of the products I am refusing, such as investment vehicles that are forbidden [mutual funds, interest based investments]. But there is a third category which are newsletter subscriptions, such as Motley Fool and others. These newsletters are often advice regarding investing, how it works and so forth [i.e. Motley Fool]. But, some of the stocks they may recommend are Haram ! As well, there are newsletters about real estate investments. I am not sure what to do about these-if I were to invest, I would subscribe to these newsletters, for their advice regarding markets / real estate / times etc., but I know many users [non-Muslims and Muslims] may use the advice and invest in Haram investments. What are your thoughts ? Is there a criteria I can lay down to accept / reject affiliate marketing offers ? Thanks. Murtada
