Salaries of the Employees of the Banks

Question :

Are the salaries that the bank employees receive in general and the Arab Bank in particular, lawful or forbidden? I asked this because I heard that they (these salaries) are forbidden, as the banks deal with Riba in some of their transactions. I hope for a beneficial answer since I would like to work in one of the banks.

Answer:

It is not permissible to work in the banks that deal with Riba because that involves assisting them in sin and transgression. Indeed Allâh said:
"And cooperate in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression."

It has been authenticated from the Prophet that he cursed the person who devours Riba, the person who gives it, the person who writes it and its witnesses, and he said:
"They are the same (in sin)."

This was recorded by Muslim in his Sahih.
