Marrying a girl whose father works in interest-based banks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 15358 )
Q: I am a committed Muslim young man, praise be to Allah, and I want to marry a committed girl, but there is a problem in her family, which is that her father works in one of the interest-based banks. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding this marriage? Knowing that if the marriage takes place, there will be visits to maintain family ties between me and my wife's family, which will force me to eat at their place or send things exchanged between the two families or something of that sort, especially in the early days
of the marriage. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding that?
A: If the woman you want to marry is righteous in herself and upright in her religion, it does not harm her that her father is an employee in the bank, and this does not prevent you from marrying her, along with advising her father to leave this job; perhaps Allah will guide him because of you. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
