Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on working in a riba bank in a position that does not involve assisting in riba? Right now, you work there and say there is no cooperation, but your work there is cooperation with them. Even if you were the gatekeeper, if you were the gatekeeper, you are cooperating with them. He says: And if it is not permissible, what should I do with the salaries I received from this job?
Answer:
If you repent to Allah, you did not know at first, you were ignorant of this, and you repented to Allah and moved from this job to another job, then there is no blame on you, if Allah wills.
