His area of work focuses on strategic marketing of credit card related products for the bank, such as determining late fees (not interest) to be charged, etc. He is inviting me to stay at his house and obviously that would include eating at his place. I would like to know if it is halal to eat at his place considering that he is a bank employee. A quick response will be greatly appreciated.
