What is the ruling on the salary of a foreign language translator in a usurious bank?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to work as a translator for riba-based transactions with foreign banks. The salary received from such work is unlawful () because it involves cooperation in sin and transgression, which Allah has forbidden in His saying: "And cooperate not in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty."
