Is working in an engineering company that evaluates equipment and devices for the purpose of facilitating or rejecting usurious loans permissible or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the loans are usurious, and writing the report leads to their approval, then it is not permissible to write these reports, as it involves direct assistance in dealing with usury. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes Riba (usury), the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and said, "They are all equal," because assisting in falsehood is forbidden. The one who assists in an act shares the sin with its perpetrator, due to the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Thus, means have the same rulings as their ends.
