Please give reply with quran and sunah. I want only earn halal income.


A. First of all, it the company is involved in fraud, then it will not be permissible for you to take up a job with them.

With respect to the interest money, you must give it in charity. It will not be permissible for you to use it. The Holy Quran has clearly stated, ‘O those who believe, give up what remains of Riba (interest/usury) if you are true believers (2: 278).

‘The Prophet (SAS) cursed the receiver and payer of interest, the one who records it and the two witnesses to the transaction and said, ‘They are all equal in sin’ (Muslim).

And Allah knows best.
