It is not permissible to work in this job because the salary comes from the proceeds of usurious loans, making the money received unlawful (). Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah clarified that unlawful money should not be taken. In addition, it is not permissible to cooperate in sin and aggression, which is the case when managing an institution that practices usury.
