The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and make Islam and the Muslims benefit from you. We are deeply distressed by what we see of houses of riba (usury or interest). If a person were to distribute tapes warning against riba (usury or interest) or da'wah (calling others to Islam) cards to the employees in the same bank, would this be appropriate?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that clarifying the ruling on riba (usury or interest) and that it is among the greatest of sins is a required matter.

If you are able to advise the bank employees with private advice, its effect may be better. Yes.
