The answer

It is not permissible to work in interest-based banks, including the bank mentioned, because it constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression, which is forbidden by His Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." The husband must prevent his wife from working there, in accordance with His Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire." The fact that an employee's salary comes from suspicious funds does not justify working in an interest-based field.
