Online Products

Question
A person promotes products online, using a robot for twenty thousand companies. Is this work permissible if they do not know the products they are promoting? And in the case of knowing, what should they do if the product they intend to promote is alcohol, for example?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: He must make an effort to ensure that the companies he promotes do not engage in forbidden activities, so that he does not fall into what is prohibited. If it becomes clear to him that some of the companies he promoted are involved in forbidden trade, he must give in charity the profit he gained from them, and God knows best.
