Question

I have been working as social media marketeer in spotify, youtube, where I take artist song/content link and make a deal to promote it without dealing on lyrics. When the result is done I get paid. Is it haram? Is my income haram?

Answer

Promoting haraam is also haraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
