What is the ruling regarding my salary from a company that I learned pays salaries and bonuses from bank deposits in Islamic banks that rely on variable interest, knowing that the company's field of work is permissible?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The company deposits employee salaries into Islamic banks using investment deposits. Any resulting profits or returns accrue to the company, not the employees. The company has the right to dispose of these profits by distributing them to employees or retaining them. Accordingly, it is permissible for employees to take what is granted to them from these profits. There is no objection to working for the company and receiving a salary as long as its fields of work are permissible.
