This Wealth is not from Riba

Question :

We are a group and have come from Sudan and we agreed to a contract with a company outside of our country to be workers. When we reached the location of the company we found that the company has contracts with banks and these banks deal in Riba with the customers. We worked in security, meaning we were security guards for the welfare of the company that made contracts with the banks. The company would give us a small portion of the amount that it had made the contracts for with the banks. One of our friends said, "Verily this is Riba, because the wealth reaches us by way of a middle party, which is the company." We hope that you can inform us as to whether this is Riba.

Answer:

I do not see any problem with that, as your work is only with the company and you have no connection with the bank. So, you all work as security guards for the welfare of the company, and it is the organization that pays your salaries to you. In reference to its dealing with the banks, the usual case is that all of the companies deal with the banks in depositing, guaranteeing, seeking and borrowing money and so forth. The sin in this is on the owners of the company.
