Question:
What is the ruling on working in banks that lend to people with riba (usury or interest)?

Answer:
It is not permissible to cooperate with riba banks, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “May Allah curse
the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnessesآكل الربا وموكله وكاتبه وشاهديه
Sahih Muslim 1598
” So He cursed those who cooperate, namely the writer and the witnesses; He (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed them. Yes.
