Question:
The Shaykh: This questioner says: I work in an accounting firm, and there are contracts between our firm and other firms for specific percentages. I work as an accountant in the firm, and there are contracts between our firm and other firms for specific percentages, but the management asks us to increase the percentage agreed upon in the contract on the pretext of low profits. What is the ruling on this work?
Answer:
This is invalid and not permissible. Move to other work, for there are many jobs, praise be to Allah.[At-Talaq 65:2-3] As for riba (usury or interest) contracts and companies that involve riba, do not approach them. 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
