The ruling on working in a real estate company whose capital comes from a riba (usury or interest) bank

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to the questions received via the internet. This questioner from Libya says: Peace be upon you. What is the ruling on working in a real estate company whose capital comes from a riba bank?

Answer:
If its capital is from riba, do not work in it? Because its capital is forbidden. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
So if you work in it as an employee, you are cooperating with them, and they are established upon riba. Stay away from it. Yes.
