The ruling on working in the security of Banks
Question :
A man works in one of the banks and he has been doing so for a period of 10 years. He knows that working in banks is not permissible. He works as a night guard and he has no connection with the transactions. Should he continue in the work or leave it?
Answer:
A It is not permissible for the Muslim to be a guard for the banks that deal with Riba, because this is a form of cooperating in sin and transgression, and indeed Allâh prohibited that in His Statement:
"And do not cooperate in sin and transgression."
Usually, the situation with the banks is that they deal in Riba. Therefore, you should search for a lawful way of seeking sustenance other than this method. And success is from Allâh. May Allâh send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
