Working in Riba Banks is assisting them in Sin
Question :
I have a cousin who works in one of the banks as a secretary. Some scholars gave him a ruling that he should not remain there and that he search for another job other than the bank. Please benefit us concerning this may Allâh reward you with good - as to whether it is permissible or not.
Answer:
Whoever gave him the mentioned ruling did well, because working in Riba banks is not permissible. This is because that is a form of assisting them in sin and transgression. Allâh says:
"And cooperate in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment."
Indeed it has been authenticated from the Messenger of Allâh that he cursed the person who devours Riba, the person who gives it, the one who writes it and its witnesses, and he said:
"They are the same (in sin)."
This was recorded by Muslim in his Sahih.
