Is it permissible to work in a bank?
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
From a previous question answered by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari:
‘In conclusion, it will be unlawful to employ one’s self in jobs at a bank (or any other place) that have a direct involvement with interest-based transactions. However, if the job has no connection with interest dealings whatsoever, then it would be permitted to take this job, although detested.’
