The Ruling on Working in Banks in a Non-Riba Position
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to work in one of the banks, given that this person's job is not related to stocks or riba (usury or interest) matters?
Answer:
It is not permissible to work in banks; because it is cooperation in sin and aggression, whether as a clerk, an employee, a guard, or otherwise. One should beware of cooperating with them; because Allah says:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious and not to be employed by them in any capacity.

May Allah reward you,
