Should he fix a computer in which there are naked pictures?
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
He says: we work in a computer workshop fixing equipment. A machine was brought to us to be fixed, and we discovered that it is full of naked pictures. Should we refuse to fix it, or should we fix the computer, erase the pictures and advise the person?

Answer:
We put this question to our Shaykh, Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthyameen (may Allaah preserve him), who answered as follows: I think you should tell the person, we will not fix it – because if you fix it and erase the pictures, he will only put new ones in it. So do not fix it. And Allaah knows best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
