The ruling on working in a riba (usury or interest) bank without dealing in riba
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another person says: I am an employee at one of the banks, and I receive a monthly salary, and I do not deal in riba. Is there any blame on me for working in this bank?
Answer:
As for the wording of the hadith, Jabir says that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 5103Hasan (Darussalam) and its witness. The writer and the witness are helping; he writes the account, he writes the transfer, he writes such and such, he helps. Do not lean in, yes. Leave the bank entirely, do not work with them, and do not help them. Not as a witness, not as a disbeliever, not as an accountant, not as a sweeper, not as a gatekeeper, and not as a guard. Leave them, perhaps they will be left idle, maybe they will be left idle, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
