  • I am currently working for a bank, and I know at a basic level that you’re not allowed to work in bank due to Interest. This is not an Islamic bank. All that I am doing is checking if the customer has filled in the form right and sending a letter back to the customer, letting them know what is happening about the bank account. I don’t deal with the money or the financial aspect of this. Also is it allowed for a cleaner or someone concerning the food aspects to work at a bank? I was wondering what is the Islamic rule or law concerning someone working at a bank, and is it right for me to still work for them?.

  • I came across one of your answers regarding gambling and noticed a little section on paying to enter football tournaments and the permissibility of this. I wanted to get some clarity regarding the football event issue as we hold events locally. The annual football tournament is funded by local council sports development and sponsorship from local businesses. This usually covers us for sports pitch booking, trophies and equipment. Teams enter the tournament and the final winning and losing team would win trophies. Money from entrants is used to cover admin and volunteer costs then additional money left over and further money collected from a food stall is used to give to charity or a local mosque. By stating on advertising and registration that tournament entrance fees are used for admin and charity would this come out of the Realm of gambling or is there still an implication regarding those entering the tournament rather than those organising it. Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated.
