What is the ruling on working for a company that designs and maintains a search engine displaying the best bank loans?
It is impermissible for a Muslim to engage in work that directly involves something unlawful or assists in it, due to the Almighty’s saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The work of a company that focuses on guiding those seeking interest-based loans, researching them, and identifying interest-based banks that provide such loans, is not permissible; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who consumes interest, the one who pays it, the one who writes it, and its two witnesses. Therefore, an employee in this company falls under this severe warning, as he is among those who assist in usury.
