Summary
Working in a condom factory is permissible, because condom use is likened to al-'azl, which the strongest opinion holds to be permissible as long as the intercourse is with a spouse and not zina. A person does not bear the sins of others who misuse the product. The ruling becomes haram if the factory uses prohibited materials in processing, or if it clearly supplies the finished products to places of vice such as discos or brothels.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
