What is the ruling on accepting the invitation of one who works in a riba (usury or interest) bank?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to accept the invitation of one who works in the bank? Is his food forbidden? And am I sinful for not accepting? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If he has no money other than what he takes from his work in the bank, do not eat at his place. But if he has other money, if he has other lawful money, there is nothing wrong with eating from his food. Even if he has some of the money of riba, if his food is mixed from the lawful and the forbidden, you eat it, because one cannot be certain that this food is all from the forbidden.
