The ruling on one who guards riba banks and the extent to which he falls under the curse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does the one who guards riba banks fall under the curse mentioned in the hadith?
Answer:
Yes, the one who is employed in riba banks—the guard, the doorman, the sweeper, the clerk, and the custodian of the treasury—are all cooperating in riba, so the curse and the sin encompass them. Therefore, it is not permissible to be employed in the banks, because it is assisting in riba, assisting in what Allah has forbidden.
