My brother works in Britain for a company that has dealings with banks, and his job is entering data. What is the ruling on that?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My brother in Britain works in one of the companies. Yes, he says: My brother in Britain works in one of the companies that have dealings and transactions with banks, and his work is on the computer, entering data into the programs of these banks. Is this work permissible?

Answer:
Yes. Riba money is not to be dealt with, recorded, or entered into programs, as long as it is riba, because he would be cooperating with them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who eats riba, the one who gives it, the witness, and the scribe. Why were the witness and the scribe cursed? Because they cooperated with the one who eats it and the one who deals in riba. They did not eat the riba, but they authenticated it, wrote it down, and testified to it, so they assisted them in that. And livelihoods are abundant. Tell your brother to leave this work for honest work and good work. Yes.
