Do employees who work for a company that deals in riba (usury or interest) commit a sin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A relative of Abu Ramz, in Abu Ramz's house, is a man who works as an accountant. Then this accountant goes to a certain company to audit what is written in the ledgers, and he includes in these figures the amounts the company received or paid to the bank in interest and the like. So you called that a scribe of riba. Second, what we want to say is: if he is a scribe of riba, then there are others in the company, O Shaykh, who receive salaries. They also participated in assisting the scribes, in assisting the company, and in assisting the clients in keeping this company going. Do the employees also share in assisting with riba?

The Shaykh : Of course, they all share in it. This is number two, that is number three, thirty, and so on.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : As long as the company is established on dealing in riba, they all cooperate in sin.
