Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah raise your status. I work for a company that takes out riba (usury or interest) loans, and I am responsible for delivering them to the bank. Do I bear a sin, and what do you advise me to do?
Answer:
You are cooperating with them in consuming riba (usury or interest) and taking riba (usury or interest), so do not work for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed. The bearer and the scribe did not consume the riba (usury or interest), but they assisted in it, so they deserved the curse. So do not cooperate with them. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: [Al-Ma'idah 5:2] and the sin of those who assist in it is one of the greatest acts of transgression. Yes.
