The answer

Previously, the ruling on working in taxation was explained. If the nature of the work necessitates oppressing people, then it is not permissible to work in it, because injustice is absolutely forbidden, and it will be darknesses upon the servant on the Day of Resurrection. There is no barrier between the supplication of the oppressed and Allah. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The supplication of the oppressed is raised by Allah above the clouds, and the gates of heaven are opened for it. And the Lord says: 'By My Might, I will surely grant you victory, even if it is after some time.'"
