The questioner:
There is something. I am a person who has interview institutions. And it is good that I have an institution in the same specialty. They said it is good to take paid interviews and it is good with what came out of the visit council. Yes. I am a person who has interview institutions. And it is good that I have an institution in the same specialty. Yes. He said, my master, inside the interview. And he made me an element. If he reads this house and sat until Ramadan. And he said to our master Abu Sa'id, and he said, and I reached this, I took it with a little to the house. And he told him that I differed with these sons who read in it
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
That
The Shaykh:
In any case, taking the contract for the bank and building a structure for the bank is not permissible, because it is cooperation in sin and aggression, because the bank is a riba (usury or interest) institution, so you do not serve it or cooperate with it. So this contractor erred in taking this contract. As for you, you sold him materials, and the price of your materials came from him, not from the bank; there is no blame on you. You sold him materials just as you sell to others; it is not like that. The question is: you sold him materials just as you sell to others, and you took the price of your materials from him, not from the bank. If you had taken the price from the bank, it would not have been permissible. But the error falls on him, the contractor who undertook the building for the bank. As for you, you are a seller of materials, selling to him and to others, and you took the value of the materials from him, not from the bank, and there is no agreement between you and the bank, so you are outside the scope of responsibility as far as I can see. However, if you distance yourself from them, that would be better and more cautious, but we do not say that this is forbidden, because you are outside the scope of responsibility, and you are a seller of materials to him and to others. Yes. Yes. If he knew what he was selling to, but this one did not know; he sold to him while he did not know. Yes.
