Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
As long as the notorious prostitute has not repented, the contract with her is invalid as a precautionary measure. It is essential to refer to question 4358 for additional details related to this ruling.

Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
This is permissible if she is a Muslim or a person of the Book, although it is disliked, especially if she is among the notorious prostitutes. If he does so, he should prevent her from immorality. It is also necessary to refer to question 4358 for additional details related to this ruling.
