The obligatory prayer inside a riba (usury or interest) bank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: My sister is afflicted with a job in a riba (usury or interest) bank. His question is: Is it permissible for her to pray the obligatory prayers inside this bank?
Answer:
Yes, the land of the bank is pure, but working in it is not permissible. Otherwise, it is pure land. If he prays there, the owners of the bank are committing two crimes: the crime of riba (usury or interest) and the crime of abandoning prayer. Pray in their place. Yes, they are Muslims, but they are dealing in riba (usury or interest). This is a sin. Yes.
