Q 20: Is it permissible to
work for companies that deal in Riba (usury)?
A:
It is not permissible to work for companies that deal in usurious transactions or to work for usurious banks as this involves co-operation in sin and transgression. Allah (Exalted be He) says,
Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
