As is not hidden from you, the function of the central bank is to issue the funds necessary for the state, collecting the funds of interest-based banks and storing them with them, while they engage in interest-based transactions. This man works in security and protection, so what is the ruling on his job?
As for if it is by his choice, and he is the one who went and requested to be a guard for this central bank that deals in riba (usury or interest), then this is not permissible;Because his request to be a guard for this bank means: his approval of it and its transactions. But if he is compelled by others,For example: the police and soldiers who are directed to protect these places, then he owes nothing, because he did not approve of it, but his work requires that.
