Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man works in a riba (usury or interest) bank, and he has another weak income from outside the bank. Is it permissible for him to perform Hajj with all his money? And do his children sin by eating and drinking with him?

Answer:
It is obligatory for him to leave his job at the bank and seek his livelihood in another field.
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
[At-Talaq 65:2-3]
And livelihoods, praise be to Allah, are abundant. So he should rely upon Allah, fear Allah, and leave his job at the bank. As for what he asked about: if he has money from the bank and money from other sources, he should perform Hajj with the money that is not from the bank. Yes, he should perform Hajj with the money that is not from the bank. Yes, and he should not perform Hajj with the money from the bank. Yes.
