Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on my job at a bank that deals in riba, even though I support a family and it is the only source of income for my family?
Answer:
And it is not permissible to cooperate in sin and aggression. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who eats riba, the one who gives it, the scribe, and the two witnesses. So do not cooperate with them. The doors of sustenance are many.[At-Talaq 65:2-3], there is much sustenance in it. Seek it, and Allah will make it easy for you. If you leave the forbidden, Allah will make the lawful easy for you. Yes.

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
