Is operating a business where I handle website/ digital community security halal, if clients have pages that have photos, music or other haram elements? I'm confused, because I do not want to assist in sin. I also do not do any haram work myself. I follow Sh Fawzan's fatwa on digital imagery.

If a client's site is built for something haram, such as music, gambling or riba, securing it is not allowed, because it helps it continue. If the site is for something permissible and the haram in it is incidental, the scholars differ: some allowed it, judging by what dominates the site, and others forbade it, because the work still serves that haram.
