Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

May Allah increase your consciousness of earning halaal income. May Allah grant you halaal and wholesome income. Aameen.

In order for us to issue you a ruling, we need to know your role in the investment bank. However, the concept of underwriting is not permissible.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
