Is it permissible for me to work as a security guard in one of the banks?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, saying: May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for me to work as a security guard in one of the banks, knowing that I do not know whether this bank is riba (usury or interest)-based or not?

Answer:
If the bank is the one that hired you, do not cooperate with it. But if the government hired you for security and protection, there is no harm; this is general security for banks and others provided by the government. Yes.
