Working as a Copy Writer

Asalumu Alaykum,

The role of a copy writer for a business or agency would be to write content for advertisements, emails, blogs, etc. With the assumption that the business/client is generally halal, would it be haram to write about or include in the copy things about Christmas, or LGBT etc.? Meaning, writing in favour of the haram such as saying; “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Pride Month”. Sometimes you would need to craft these ads or blogs yourself and other times your role is to just input them wherever they need to go.

Note: I am not currently working in such a role.

Well, Copywriting is not an easy task, especially for students as they face numerous issues with their academic projects. Some students learn unique tricks from CIPD courses online to be able to boost their skill set and completing academic projects without making any major mistakes by themselves.

Wa Alaikum Assalam,

If you feel that writing or endorsing certain topics like Christmas or LGBT content goes against your personal beliefs, you could consider discussing these concerns with your employer or client to see if they can assign you tasks that align better with your values.

Wishing you all the best in your career journey.
