Assalamualykum.
I have 2 questions regarding with being an accountant
1) is it permissible to own an accountancy firm in which i will be subject to deal with interest based transactions.
2) is it permissible for me as an accountant to work for a firm which has got interest based transactions that i will be subject to deal with
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
We commend you on your sensitivity to earn a halaal income.
Nabi (ﷺ) said:
طَلَبُ كَسْبِ الْحَلَالِ فَرِيضَةٌ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ
Translation: Earning of Halal income is an obligation beyond other obligations.
(Shuabul Imaan/Sunan Al-kubra, Baihaqi)
