The ruling on marrying someone who works in riba (usury or interest) banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling, likewise, on marrying someone who works in riba (usury or interest) banks specifically?
Answer:
If his entire earnings are from this bank, it is not permissible to marry him, because he is cooperating with the bank. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] This is cooperation with the bank. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 2277Hasan (Darussalam) and two witnesses and a scribe. This disbeliever is an employee. The employee is cursed. The employee in a riba (usury or interest) institution is cursed by the explicit text of the hadith, because he cooperates with it, certifies its debts, certifies its riba (usury or interest), and writes. Yes.
So it is not permissible to eat from the money of this person if it is all from this earnings. But if he has halal (lawful) earnings and haram (forbidden) earnings, and he does not know about the haram (forbidden) ones, he is to be given the halal (lawful) earnings.
