Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on working in banks, and whether one who goes to them is considered to be cooperating with them?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made sustenance abundant and has expanded the avenues of earning. Banks deal in riba (usury or interest), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “May Allah curse the one who eats riba, the one who gives it, the two witnesses, and the scribe.”Sunan Abi Dawud 3333Sahih (Al-Albani) So he cursed the one who eats riba and whoever assists in it. An employee at a bank assists it in that, so he must avoid riba banks. Avoid riba banks and do not work in them. Yes.
