Is it permissible to move to a new job with a higher salary, even though the current financial situation is adequate and lacking nothing? And is this considered ingratitude for blessings?
If the bank you work for deals with usury and the other job is permissible, do not hesitate to move to it. However, if the bank is an Islamic one that adheres to guidelines, and the other job is permissible, then there is no harm in you staying or moving, and this is not considered ingratitude for blessings. Rather, it is seeking more of Allah's bounty. The of Ayyub (peace be upon him) indicates the permissibility of being eager to acquire more lawful wealth for one who is confident in himself that he will be grateful for it, and it is a blessing and a bounty. A person is not judged as greedy or worldly simply for acquiring lawful wealth; rather, this differs according to intentions and purposes.
