What is the ruling on compulsorily saving the profit amount in a pharmaceutical company for five years with usurious interest or in the stock market, and how can I avoid falling into the forbidden?
It is impermissible to compel employees to save, nor to take usurious interest on compulsory savings. However, it is permissible to take legitimate, non-fixed profits that are subject to gain and loss. One should not initiate a usurious transaction. A repentant person takes their principal and donates the interest for the benefit of Muslims. It is advised to leave employment in usurious companies and seek other work.
