The questioner:
A person works at a riba bank and was advised to throw away his job and leave. Should he leave it immediately, or should he keep it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for him to leave it, as a fard (obligatory duty). Yes.
The questioner:
He says: My excuse is that I have children and so on.
The Shaykh:
He can borrow, but he does not lend, or...
