Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A questioner from outside this country asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim residing in Western countries to work in a company whose clients are banks that deal in riba?
Answer:
If he is doing riba work, then it is not permissible for him to do so. But if they are the ones doing it and he is not dealing in riba, then there is no harm in that; his work is pure and there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
