Question:
What is the ruling on working in riba (usury or interest) banks in clerical roles?
Answer:
Working in them is not permissible, whether in writing or otherwise. There is no accountant, no clerk, no manager, no janitor, and no messenger; it is all the same. They are all cooperating with them and playing along with them. Allah the Exalted says: "And do not cooperate in sin and transgression." We ask Allah for their guidance. We ask Allah to protect us from their evil and to guide them. Yes.
